LIST OF COUNTS OF AVERSA

(Redirected from County of Aversa)
In 1030, the first Norman foothold in the Mezzogiorno was created when Sergius IV of Naples gave the town and vicinity of Aversa as a county to Ranulf Drengot. The following are the 'counts of Aversa':

★ Rainulf I Drengot 1020-1045

★ Asclettin 1045 (nephew)

★ Rainulf II Trincanocte 1045-1048 (cousin)

★ Herman 1048-1049 (son)

★ Richard I 1049-1078 (cousin)
In 1058, Richard conquered the Principality of Capua and thereafter the counts of Aversa were, more importantly, princes of Capua.
