SICHELGAITA di Gaeta . Sichelgaita Pss of Capua is named as "tante paternelle du duc Marinus de Gaète", Stasser suggesting that from a chronological point of view she could only have been the wife of Prince Atenolf II[2351]. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter of her great-grandson "Atenolfus comes filius domni Atenolfi comitis bone memorie" dated 981, under which he donated property "in finibus Cageta que mihi pertinet de domna Sikelgaita bone memorie principissa bisabia mea" to Marinus, son of Constantine[2352]. Another possibility is suggested by the epitaph of her grandson "domino Landulfo comes…filius domini Landenulfi comiti cuius domini Landenulfi…principis"[2353]. No other reference has been found to "Landenulfi principis", alive in the early 10th century, although it is possible that he was another otherwise unrecorded son of Atenolf Count of Capua. If the latter is correct, the other sources quoted in this section indicate that Sichelgaita di Gaeta must have been the wife of this Landenolf. Another epitaph, which records the death of her great-grandson "Landenolfus comes filius bone memorie domini Landulfi comitis ex quidem nato Atenulfi principis ortus"[2354], suggests that the reference to "Landenulfi principis" may simply have been an error. m ([911]%29 [ATENOLF di Capua, son of ATENOLF I Count of Capua & his first wife --- of Naples (-941). He succeeded his father in 912 as ATENOLF II joint Prince of Capua, jointly with his brother.]
