We know the name of Radelchi's wife, but not her ancestry: Garetruda is known from her epitaph and from her presence in some of Radelchi's diplomas, as a rogator and as the owner of a land endowment; with her Radelchi had twelve children. We know the names of six of them: Orso, Radelgario, Adelchi, Aione, Ladelchi, Arechi.

RADELCHIS, son of --- ([788/60]-849). His birth date is estimated from the Epitaphium Radelchis Principis which records that he died aged 60[190]. He seized power in Benevento in 839 on the death of Sicard Prince of Benevento. During the civil war which followed, he gained control of Benevento and the northern parts of the old principality, declaring himself RADELCHIS I Prince of Benevento. The civil war was eventually settled by Louis King of Italy [Carolingian] who arranged a division of territories between the two sides under the Radelgisi et Siginulfi Divisio Ducatus Beneventani signed in early 849, Benevento losing half its territory[191]. In 847, the Arabs captured Bari, where they established an emirate, and Taranto[192]. The Annales Beneventani record the death of Prince Radelchis in 849[193].

m GARETRUDA, daughter of --- (-1 Jun ---). The Epitaphium Caretrudæ names "coniux Radelchis…hæc Caretruda", adding that she died aged 70 and had twelve children[194].
