Landulf II of Capua
Landulf II(" c". 825 – 879) was Bishop and Count of Capua.
He was the youngest of four sons of Landulf I, gastald of Capua.
As a young man, he entered the church.
When his father died, his eldest brother, Lando, succeeded him.
On the death of the bishop of Capua, Paulinus, Lando made Landulf bishop of the city.
Lando died in 861 and his young son, Lando II was deposed only a few months later by Landulf's other elder brother, Pando.
Pando too died soon thereafter( 862 or 863) and a succession crisis broke out.
Pando's son Pandenulf was shoved aside and Landulf, though bishop, took the Capuan throne in 863.
However, the other branches of the family refused to recognize the usurpation and began seizing much of the county for themselves, leaving Landulf II only in control of the town of Capua proper.
Isolated, Landulf II invited Saracen mercenaries to ravage the lands of his familiars, a move which much alarmed his neighbors( including the pope).
In 866, the deposed Pandenulf appealed to Emperor Louis II, then visiting Monte Cassino, to act against his uncle.
The Emperor promptly besieged Capua and divested Landulf II, but instead of restoring Pandenulf, decided to pass the county of Capua over to the marquis Lambert I of Spoleto.
This arrangement did not last long.
In 871, Lambert was involved in a rebellion against Louis II orchestrated by Adelchis of Benevento.
In the aftermath, Louis II deposed Lambert and restored Landulf II as count of Capua.
As a condition, Landulf II swore off deploying Saracens in the county.
Upon the death of Louis( 875), who had strictly enforced peace amongst the Christians of the Mezzogiorno, Landulf II allied himself with the Saracens, but in 877, Pope John VIII convinced him to ally himself to the papacy against the Muslims.
He spent the next years defending the Amalfi Coast with his navy in return for tribute.
Landulf II died in 879, undisputed count of Capua, and a succession crisis broke out again between his nephews Lando II( son of Lando), Pandenulf( son of Pando) and Lando III( son of Landenulf of Teano).
In the chronicle of Erchempert, of whom he was a contemporary, Landulf II of Capua is the chief villain, portrayed as a dabbler in mysticism and black magic, Saracen ally and enemy of Christendom.
Erchempert's portrayal of Landulf II was the inspiration for the character of evil duke and magician Klingsor in Wolfram von Eschenbach's medieval epic" Parzival".
Eschenbach's epic was later translated into the famous nineteenth- century opera" Parsifal" by Richard Wagner.
As American film director George Lucas is frequently said to have looked to" Parsifal" for inspiration in his creation of the" Star Wars" saga, Landulf II of Capua, via this long chain of association, is the closest historical source for the villainous Darth Vader.
Pandulf II of Capua
Pandulf II( or III), called the Black(" Niger") or the Young, was the son and successor of Landulf VII of Capua in 1007.
He ruled jointly with his uncle, Pandulf II of Benevento, who was originally his regent, until the latter's death in 1014.
It is recorded that he ruled jointly with his father, but from what date is unknown.
In February 1016, he associated his cousin Pandulf IV with him.
Thereafter, he disappears from records.

Landulf VII of Capua
Landulf VII (died 1007), also numbered Landulf IV or V (if Landulf I and II, who were not princes, are not counted), called Landolfo di Sant'Agata,
was the prince of Capua from 1000 to his death.
He was the second son of Landulf III of Benevento, who was only a co-ruler.
Thus, he was easily removed from the succession on his father's death.
His brother Pandulf eventually succeeded in becoming Prince of Benevento.
In 1000, the reigning prince of Capua, Adhemar, was overthrown.
The brother of the reigning prince of Benevento was called in.
Before he was elevated to princely status, he had been compensated with the county of Sant'Agata de' Goti, the site of a great fortress.
Landulf ruled for seven years.
He was succeeded by his young son Pandulf II and by his brother, who ruled Capua as regent and prince as Pandulf III.

Landulf III of Benevento
Landulf III (died December 968 or 969) was Prince of Capua (as Landulf V) and Benevento from 959 as co-prince with his father, Landulf II and brother Pandulf Ironhead, and from 961 only with his brother.
His mother was Yvantia.
In 961, Landulf II died and Landulf and his brother became sole princes, though the elder Pandulf was by far the more domineering.
The "Chronicum Salernitanum" affirms the co-regency, however, and the principle of the indivisibility of the united Capua-Benevento as declared by Atenulf I in 900, when it says "Beneventanorum principatum eius filii Pandolfum et Landulfum bifarie regebant . . .
communi indivisoque iure", that is "the Beneventan principality was reigned in jointly by Pandulf and Landulf under indivisible common jurisdiction.
"
However, this system eventually collapsed and Pandulf ruled in Capua while Landulf ruled in Benevento.
In 967, the Emperor Otto I came down to Rome and charged Pandulf with prosecuting a war against the Byzantine Empire in Apulia.
Landulf took part in the subsequent campaign of 968, but he retired in illness and died at Benevento leaving two sons: Pandulf and Landulf.
The "Chronicum" says
Landulf "tenuit principatum una cum suo germanus annos
octo", that is, "held the principality solely with his brother for eight years.
" Pandulf, however, cheated his nephews out of their patrimony, made himself sole prince.
Both of Landulf's sons would later become princes of Benevento.
