LANDOLF [I], son of PANDO & his wife --- (-[842/44]). "Landulph Maticu [=magnarum maxillarum], filius Pald" was installed as gastald and Count of Capua, dated to 815 by the editor of the MGH edition[1431]. Erchempert records "Landolfus" as "Capuæ…gastaldeus" when recording that he supported Siconulf, son of Sico Prince of Benevento, in the civil war with Arechis Prince of Benevento (dated to 839/42)[1432]. Arab mercenaries from Benevento burnt the old city of Capua in 841, after which a new city was built a few kilometres away[1433]. The Chronicon Vulturnense records that "Landulfus comes" left "Capua vetere", which he had held for 25 years and 3 months, and moved "in monticulum…Tripliscus qui alio nomine…Sicopolis" in 841, and died three years later[1434]. Count Landolf built a heavily fortified castrum overlooking the city of Capua, referred to as "Rebelopolis"[1435]. The Cronica de Monasterio Sanctissimi Benedicti record that "Landolfus senior" held "Capua veterem" for 25 years and 4 months and built "civitatem nobam in monte Trifisco" which he held for a further one year and eight months[1436].

m ---, daughter of [ROFRIT & his wife Dauferada ---]. The parentage of the wife of Landolf [I] is suggested by the Chronicon Salernitanum which names "Adelchisi Rofrit filius…et suum cognatum Landolfum comite Capuano"[1437]. Stasser suggests that "cognatus" should be interpreted as brother-in-law in this context, and therefore that Landolf´s wife was the daughter of Rofrit[1438]. that is correct, she could also have been the sister of Adelchis´s own wife.

Landolf & his wife had four children:

1. LANDO [I] (-[860]). m ALOARA, daughter of ---. 7 children
2. PANDO (-[862]). m firstly ARNIPERGA, daughter of --- (-before 856, bur Sicopolis). The epitaph of Arniperga, wife of Pando Count of Capua, records that she died aged 41[1473]. 3 children m secondly [--- of Amalfi, daughter of MARINUS Prefect of Amalfi & his wife ---.
3. LANDENOLF (-[859]). m ---, daughter of POTELFRIT & his wife --- (-after Jan 900).
4. LANDOLF (-[879]). succeeded "Pando" as Count of Capua [dated to 862 by the editor of the MGH edition] and held the city for 3 years and 9 months, before being expelled by "Ludovicus imperator"[1514].
