About Guaimar IV, prince of Salerno

"adopted" by Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor *[ book THE HISTORY OF THE NORMANS ]


Guaimar IV (c. 1013 – 2, 3 or 4 June 1052) was Prince of Salerno (1027–1052),[2] Duke of Amalfi (1039–1052), Duke of Gaeta (1040–1041), and Prince of Capua (1038–1047) in Southern Italy over the period from 1027 to 1052. He was an important figure in the final phase of Byzantine authority in the Mezzogiorno and the commencement of Norman power. He was, according to Amatus of Montecassino, "more courageous than his father, more generous and more courteous; indeed he possessed all the qualities a layman should have—except that he took an excessive delight in women." upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Italy_1000_AD.svg/300px-Italy_1000_AD.svg.png
