3. GISULF ([1035]-2 Jan 1091). The dating clause of a charter dated Apr 1042 refers to the twenty-fourth year of "principatus Guaimari, et quarto principatus eius Capuæ et tertio ducatus Amalphiæ et Sirrenti" and the first year of "Gisulphi filii eius"[1008]. Amatus records that Gisulf, son of Guaimar, was installed as GISULF II Prince of Salerno by his paternal uncle Guido after his father was murdered[1009]. The Chronicon Amalphitani records that "Gisulfus filius eius" succeeded in 1052 after his father was killed[1010]. Amatus records that Prince Gisulf "from his earliest childhood…began little by little to vomit venom" and plotted against his paternal uncle[1011]. "Gisulfus…Longobardorum gentis Princeps" confirmed the rights of Salerno church, with the consent of "Gemme Principisse…genitricis nostre", by charter dated May 1058[1012]. Gemma donated a mill at Vietri to Cava, with the consent of "domni nostri Gisulfi et Landolfi et Guidonis et Iohannis et Gaimarii filiorum suorum", by charter dated Dec 1070[1013]. The Catalogus Principum Salerni records that "Gesulfus, filius Weimarii" ruled under 34 years, after which "Robertus Viscardum ducem cognatum suum" conquered Salerno in 1072 after 227 years of Lombard domination[1014]. The Annals of Romoald record the death of "Gisolphus frater uxoris [=Robbertus Guiscardus]" in 1076[1015], but the subsequent mentions of Gisulf show that this date is incorrect. The Normans conquered Salerno in 1077. The Gesta Roberti Wiscardi records that "gente Salernum dux…Gisulfi" was expelled by Robert "Guiscard" Duke of Apulia and found refuge with Pope Gregory VII who granted him "regio Campanica"[1016]. He was installed as Duke of Amalfi in [Mar/Jul] 1088[1017]. The necrology of San Matteo di Salerno records his death 2 Jun 1091[1018].

m (before Aug 1058, repudiated) MARIA, daughter of ---. A charter dated 1100 quotes three earlier charters dated Aug 1058, dealing with the division of territories of Guaimar IV Prince of Salerno, one of which names "Domini Gisulfi et Domine Marie Principisse uxoris ipsius Domini Gisulfi"[1019]. A charter dated Aug 1058 names "Gisulphus…Longobardorum gentis princeps…domne Gemme principis nostre"[1020]. The form of this charter is dissimilar to other charters in the same collection which suggests that it is spurious. The document does not specify explicitly that Gemma was the mother of Prince Gisulf. However, the relationship is clarified by a charter in similar form, dated Jul 1060, which names "Gisulphus…Langobardorum gentis princeps" and "domne Gemme…genitricis nostre"[1021]. This suggests that Gemma who is named in the Aug 1058 charter was also Prince Gisulf´s mother. Amatus refers to the repudiation by Prince Gisulf of his wife[1022].
