a) ROFRIT (-[836/39]). The Chronicon Salernitanum records the conspiracy involving "Rofrit cum germano suo…Potelfrit, filii…Dauferii" which culminated in "Agelmundus" assassinating Grimoald IV Prince of Benevento (dated to May 818), and Daufer making a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in expiation of the crime[306].

The Chronicon Salernitanum names "Rofrit" and "sua principessa cognata", the latter referring from the context to the wife of Sicard Prince of Benevento (who is named in another passage of the same source as the daughter of Daufer "Mutus")[309]. If, as consistently suggested by Stasser, the word "cognata" can be interpreted as brother-in-law, it is possible that Rofrit´s second wife was Dauferada, daughter of Daufer "Mutus" & his wife --- [310]. Other examples suggest that “cognata” had acquired that meaning in later centuries, but that in the 9th century it was not necessarily so limited. If that is correct, there must be other possibilities for the parentage of Dauferada.

 Rofrit & his wife had [three] children:
