Prince Pandolf & his wife had five children:

...

5. GAITELGRIMA (-[Jul/Nov] 1027). Amatus records that the wife of Guaimar [III] Prince of Salerno was the sister of Pandolf [IV] Prince of Capua and that the latter was released after the intervention of Prince Guaimar[1650]. "Guaimarius et Guaimarius…Longobardorum gentis Principes" confirmed the rights of Salerno church, with the consent of "Gaitelgrime Principisse…coniugis nostre", by charter dated May 1023, the dating clause stating that the year was the thirty-fifth of "Domni Guaimarii Principis" and the fifth of "Domni Guaimarii eius filio", subscribed by "Gaitelgrimam Guaimarii III uxorem" and "uxorem Guaimarii IV…Gemmam"[1651]. The dating clause of two charters dated Jun 1027 and Jul 1027 refer to the ninth year of "principatus domni…Guaimari" and the first year of "principatus domne Gaytelgrime genetrice eius"[1652], indicating that Gaitelgrima was appointed co-ruler or regent because of the minority of her son. "Gaitelgrima" is not named in the charters from Nov 1027 onwards, presumably indicating that she died before that date.

Prince Guaimar & his second wife had four children:

3. GUAIMAR ([1011/12]-murdered 3 Jun 1052). The dating clause of a charter dated Nov 1018 refers to the thirtieth year of "principatus domni…Guaimari" and the first year of "principatus domni Guaimari eius filii…principibus"[963]. The dating clause of a charter dated Jul 1020 refers to the thirtieth-second year of "principatus domni Guaimari" and the second year of "principatus domni Guaimarii optato filio…principes"[964]. This is the only reference so far found to Prince Guaimar IV having been the adopted son of Prince Guaimar III. The Catalogus Principum Salerni record that "Weimarius alter eius filius [=Weimarius]" succeeded his father as GUAIMAR IV Prince of Salerno and ruled for 34 years and 17 days[965].

4. GUIDO ([1012/13]-before 1077). A charter of Guaimar III Prince of Salerno dated Feb 1032 names "Guidoni et Paldulfi germani eiusdem…potestatis"[966]. Amatus records that Guaimar IV Prince of Salerno gave the title Duke of Sorrento "to his blood brother Guido", dated to 1039[967].

5. PALDOLF ([1014 or after]-murdered 3 Jun 1052). A charter of Guaimar III Prince of Salerno dated Feb 1032 names "Guidoni et Paldulfi germani eiusdem…potestatis"[968]. A charter dated Aug 1043 names "domni Paldolfi germani…domni Guaimari…princeps et dux"[969]. Lord of Capaccio 1040[970].

6. daughter (-after Jun 1052). Amatus refers to the unnamed sister of Guaimar IV Prince of Salerno being captured and "imprisoned in a filthy and horrible prison", together with his nephew's wife, after her brother was murdered[971]. It is unclear who this "nephew" was, as Prince Guaimar´s brothers were too young in 1052 to have had a son who was already married. It is possible that the passage refers to the wife of one of the sons of Ioannes, younger brother of Prince Guaimar III.

Disambiguation

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaitelgrima Gaitelgrima is a Lombard feminine name. There are several notable Gaitelgrimas in history. The identities of these four women (as well as some others of the same name) are often confused because they were all closely related to each other and to two men: Guaimar III of Salerno and his son, Guaimar IV, whose enumeration is often altered making Guaimar III, Guaimar IV.
