Pandulf VI of Capua
Pandulf VI( also numbered as Pandulf V)( died 1057) was the successor of Pandulf IV as Prince of Capua from his death in 1050 to his own seven years later.
He was the son of Pandulf IV and Maria.
He co-ruled with his father in the Duchy of Gaeta as early as 1032 – 1038.
He was a weak ruler under whom the principality declined in importance and influence.
Upon his death, his state immediately fell into disarray under his brother, Landulf VIII.
Capua itself was conquered within a year by Richard of Aversa.
Atenulf (abbot of Montecassino)
Atenulf( died 30 March 1022) was the Abbot of Montecassino from 1011 until his death.
He was a cousin of Prince Pandulf II of Capua, a younger son of Prince Pandulf III and brother of Prince Pandulf IV.
Gaitelgrima of Salerno

It is recorded that he ruled jointly with his father, but from what date is unknown.

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.
Kaya Alp
Kaya Alp was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa and the father of Suleyman Shah, who was, in turn, the grandfather of Ertuğrul, and the great grandfather of the Ottoman Empire founder, Osman I.
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 Benevento
Pandulf II the Old( died August 1014) was the prince of Benevento from 981 and prince of Capua( as Pandulf III) from 1008 or 1009 to his death, the son of Landulf III who was co-prince between 959 and 968.
Pandulf was first associated as co-prince( in Capua) in 977.
On his father's death, Pandulf was marginalised by his uncle, the reigning Pandulf Ironhead, who gave Capua and Benevento to his eldest son Landulf IV on his death in 981.
That year, however, Landulf IV was forced to divide his principality for the first time since 910.
Benevento was given to Pandulf.
In May 987, he associated his son Landulf with him in the tradition of the Capuan dynasty begun by Atenulf I. In 999, Otto III visited the shrine at the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo on Monte Gargano.
On his return through Benevento, he signed a diploma in favour of the monastery of S. Sofia on 11 March.
S. Sofia was the familial foundation of Pandulf's line and probably acted as their mausoleum.
For reasons unknown, Otto and Pandulf had a falling out in 1000, possibly over the relics of Saint Bartholomew, patron saint of Benevento, to whom Otto had constructed a new church on the Isola Tiberina — San Bartolomeo all' Isola — just recently.
According to the" Annales BeneventaniOtto rex cum magno exercitu obsedit BeneventoKing Otto with a large army besieged Benevento."
Nothing, however, came of it, except perhaps the yielding of certain relics( possibly the skin of Bartholomew).
Also in that millennial year, the Capuans ousted their imperialist prince, Adhemar, and invited Landulf di Sant'Agata, Pandulf's brother, to be their new prince.
In 1003, a rebellion led by Adelfer, Count of Avellino, ousted Pandulf and his son from Benevento.
The princes did not remain exiled for long, however.
In 1005, we find them ruling from their capital again.
The revolt was a bad sign, though.
Civil unrest was rising in the principality.
In 1007, Landulf of Capua died and Pandulf succeeded him alongside his son, Pandulf II of Capua.
In 1011, 1012, or 1013, Pandulf's eponymous grandson, Pandulf III, the son of Landulf, was associated with the rule of Benevento.
Thereafter, Pandulf the elder recedes from the pages of history until his death is recorded in 1014.
