1. SICO ([839/45]-[May/Oct] 855). The dating clause of a charter dated Dec 849, under which "Leo quondam Iohanni [filius]" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the first year of "domni nostri Siconi filii Siconolfi magno principis"[633]. The Catalogus Principum Salerni record that "Syco eius filius [=Syconolfus] puer" succeeded his father as SICO II Prince of Salerno, under the regency of his godfather Petrus ("Petri comitis viri illustris de Salerno") and the latter's son Ademar[634]. His birth date range is estimated based on "puer" indicating a pre-adolescent, and taking into account that Sico was still a minor when he died. The dating clause of a charter dated Mar 850, under which "Leo filius quondam Iohanni" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the first year of "domni nostri Siconi filii bone memorie domni Siconolfi summo princeps"[635]. The dating clause of a charter Mar 852, under which "Teodericus filius Leonis" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the third year of "domni nostri Siconis et domni Petri rectori eius"[636]. The dating clause of a charter Feb 854, under which "Lupus et Lanpertus et Amipertus diaconus et Walpertus germani filii Boneperti" and others donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the fifth year of "domni nostri Siconi et domni Petri rectori eius" and the first year of "domni Ademari principibus"[637], demonstrating that Ademar shared power with Prince Sico before the latter was killed. The Catalogus Principum Salerni and the Chronicon Salernitanum record that Sico was taken north by Louis II King of Italy [Carolingian] for grooming as eventual successor, but was assassinated in 853 by Petrus and Ademar when he returned to Benevento[638]. His death is dated to [May/Oct] 855, as the dating clause of a charter dated May 855, under which "Locerna religiosa femina filia quondam Santiperti et relicta…quondam Gennari filio Optimi" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the sixth year of "domni nostri Siconis et domni Petri" and the second year of "domni Ademari principibus"[639], while the dating clause of a charter dated Oct 855, under which "Teodi et Cunipertus germani filii Pauliperti" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the sixth year of "principatus domni Petri" and the second year of "domni Ademari principibus"[640].

Betrothed ([849]%29 to --- di Capua, daughter of LANDENOLF di Capua & his wife ---. Erchempert records that "Landonolfus" betrothed "natam suam" to "Siconolfo…filio illius" but that "filiis eius" died young "post patris"[641].
