EspañolFALCO OF BENEVENTO
'Falco of Benevento' () was a twelfth-century notary and scribe in the papal palace in Benevento, his native city, where he was born to high-standing parents.
He is an important chronicler for the years between 1102 and 1139 in the Mezzogiorno. As an historian, he is not only reliable, as he was often an eyewitness to events he recounts, but also partisan, for he was a Lombard by birth and he fiercely opposed the Normans, whom he saw as barbarians.
