SICONULF [Sikenolf], son of SICO I Prince of Benevento & his wife --- (-Salerno [Nov/Dec] 849). Nithard names "Sigenulf" as brother of "Sigihard"[618]. "Syconulfum eius fratrem [=Sycard]" is named in the Catalogus Principum Salerni, when recording his imprisonment at Taranto[619]. The Chronicon Salernitanum records that, on the death of his older brother, Radelchis deprived Siconulf of Benevento and held him captive at Taranto. With help from Amalfi, he escaped and was brought back to Salerno which, under his leadership, declared war on Benevento[620]. During the civil war which followed, Siconulf gained control of the southern and western parts of the old principality of Benevento, declaring himself SICONULF Prince of Salerno. The dating clause of a charter dated Mar 842, under which "Antipertu et Arnipertu germani filii quondam Cuniperti" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the third year of "domni nostri Siconolfi"[621]. "Sichenolfus…Langobardorum gentis princ[eps]" donated property, including that previously held by "dom[ne] Adelghise que nunc nostri palatii pertinet", to Santa Maria in Cingla by charter dated to [839/Jul 849][622]. The civil war was eventually settled by Louis II King of Italy [Carolingian], who arranged the creation of the new principality of Salerno out of Beneventan territory under the Radelgisi et Siginulfi Divisio Ducatus Beneventani signed in early 849[623]. The Chronicon Vulturnense records that "Domnus…Sikelnolfus…Langobardorum gentis Princeps" confirmed various donations to Volturno, including the donations by "Mauroaldum abbatem, et Truppoaldum et Majonem seu Radelchis comitibus nostris", by charter dated Nov 849 "anno regni nostri…decimo"[624]. Siconulf´s death is dated from the charter dated Dec 849, whose dating clause refers to the first year of "domni nostri Siconi filii Siconolfi magno principis"[625]. The Chronica Sancti Benedicti Casinensis records the death of Siconulf at Salerno[626].

m ITTA, daughter of ---(-after [Nov/Dec] 849). The Chronicon Salernitanum names "Sikenolfus…suæ coniugis Ittæ" when recording that she survived her husband[627]. The origin of Prince Siconulf's wife is not known. Erchempert names "Guido dux Spoletanorum, Siconulfi cognatus" when recording that the former attacked the latter, dated to [843/43][628]. The Chronicon Salernitanum also names "Sikenolfus…suum cognatum Guidonem" when recording the same event[629]. This has been interpreted in two ways. Hlawitschka and Bougard proposed that the relationship indicated was that Guido of Spoleto had married a sister of Siconulf, daughter of Sico I Prince of Benevento[630]. On the other hand, Taviani Carozzi and Settipani considered that the correct interpretation was that Siconulf´s wife was Guido´s sister[631], and therefore Itta di Spoleto, daughter of Lambert [I] Marchese and Duke of Spoleto & his wife ---. Stasser approves the principle argument in favour of the latter hypothesis, which is based on the Chronicon Salernitanum recording the marriages of three of the daughters of "Sico princeps" and adding that the author could not remember the husbands of the others[632], and the unlikelihood that a marriage of one daughter with Guido of Spoleto would have been forgotten. The difficulty with both hypotheses is the assumption that "cognatus" should be interpreted only as meaning "brother-in-law", although the word could indicate a more remote family relationship.
