Robert II of Capua
Robert II (died 1156) was the count of Aversa and the prince of Capua from 1127 until his death .
He was the only son and successor of Jordan II of Capua.
According to the Lombard chronicler Falco of Benevento, he was "of delicate constitution, he could endure neither labour nor hardship."
In the final month of 1127, Pope Honorius II came to Benevento to preach a crusade against Count Roger II of Sicily in order to prevent the union of his county with the duchy of Apulia
(Duke William II being recently deceased).
At the start of 1128, Honorius II granted investiture to Robert which made the principalities of Capua independent from Apulia.
The pope endeavoured to gain Robert's loyalty to help defeat Roger II of Sicily in return for remissions of his sins.
He was quickly recruited for the endeavour by the pope, who went to Capua for the ceremony.
The pope probably hoped to use Capua as a counterpoise against Apulia, as in the days of Robert's grandfather and great grandfather.
Likewise, Robert may have intended to be the chief papal protector, as his ancestors had been.
However, he was weak-willed and he soon fell ill and wanted out.
Eventually, the coalition commenced negotiations on Roger's arrival with an army.
Honorius even successfully negotiated the independence of Capua.
In 1129, however, Robert submissively surrendered suzerainty to the duke of Apulia and, the next year (on 25 December 1130)
it was believed by Falco of Benevento that, as Roger's vassal-in-chief, laid the crown on his head at his royal coronation.
This is difficult to believe as it was such a crucial role and Roger II would not have wanted Robert, as one of his vassals, to perform such an important task, even if he was one of the highest rank.
In 1132, Robert rebelled with many other south Italian vassals of the king of Sicily and with the support of Pope Innocent II and his coalition of Louis VI of France, Henry I of England, and the Emperor Lothair II.
Robert defeated Roger at the Battle of Nocera on 24 July, but Roger burnt Aversa and, by 1134, forced Ranulf, count of Alife, and the nominally Byzantine Duke Sergius VII of Naples to submit.
Robert was given an ultimatum; if he wanted to keep his title, he must submit to Roger.
After the death of Roger's wife, Elvira, and the false news of Roger's death, Robert went to Naples from Pisa with 8000 men.
He was met by Rainulf and Duke Sergius when Roger arrived in June 1135, he again offered Robert a choice to keep his title.
Roger made his third son Alfonso prince in his stead (1135).
Robert fled to Pisa, where he gathered a navy and made war against Roger in Sicily, but it was a stalemate.
The Pisan fleet ravaged Amalfi and took much loot.
Laden with this plunder and accompanied by a papal legation, Robert went to Germany to plead for the aid of the emperor.
In Spring 1137, the emperor came down with Pope Innocent II; Henry the Proud, duke of Bavaria; and a large force.
They took Benevento, Bari, and Capua itself, installing Ranulf as duke of Apulia and Robert in Capua, vindicating these actions in battle.
But when the emperor left Italy, Roger sacked Capua yet again.
On 25 July 1139, Robert and the pope were defeated in battle on the Garigliano, at Galluccio, ambushed by Roger.
The pope was captured, though Robert escaped.
They thereafter acknowledged him as "principatus Capuae".
He spent most of the next fifteen years in exile in Germany.
When Alfonso died in 1144, Roger made his fourth son William prince.
However, following Roger's death in 1154, there was a revolt on the mainland, led by Robert II of Basunvilla, cousin of the new king William I.
When William was excommunicated by Pope Adrian IV, and with (unjustified) rumours that the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa was set to invade southern Italy, Prince Robert was tempted to make a comeback.
He swore homage to Adrian retook Capua (1155), taking advantage of William's serious illness.
However, in the spring of 1156 William recovered and took a fleet to the mainland.
He dealt, first, with the more serious threat from Robert of Basunvilla and the other Apulian and Campanian rebels, but then he turned to Capua.
Robert was captured.
He might have been executed as a traitor, but instead William sent him as a prisoner to Palermo, where he was possibly blinded.
Robert left a son named Jordan who lived in Constantinople, where he served the Emperor Manuel I Comnenus as "sebastos" and diplomat.
He journeyed to Rome in 1166-1167 to try and aid the reunion of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.
Gaitelgrima of Salerno
Gaitelgrima of Salerno( fl. 1091), was princess consort of Capua by marriage to Jordan I of Capua.
She was regent of Capua in 1091 during the minority of her sons, Richard, Robert, and Jordan.
Aloara
Aloara of Capua( died 992), was a Princess regnant of Capua jointly with her son from 982 until 992.
She was said to have governed her states with great ability.
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.
Robert (son of William I of Sicily)
Robert( 1153/4–1159/60) was the second son of King William I of Sicily and his queen, Margaret of Navarre.
He was about four or five years old when he was appointed Prince of Capua in 1157 or 1158.
Prior to his accession, since 1144, his father had been Prince of Capua.
Robert's Latin title," princeps Capuanorum", means literally" Prince of Capuans".
He was the third Robert of Capua, after Robert I and Robert II.
The latter, who had been deposed in 1135, returned in 1155 – 56 in an effort to reclaim his principality.
He managed to control some territory, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
The young Robert's rule in Capua can be traced in documents between September 1158 and May 1159, but he had died by February – March 1160, when his father was once again ruling Capua directly.
Eventually, Robert's younger brother Henry was appointed Prince of Capua in May 1166.
