Everything about Sico Of Benevento totally explained
Sico I (c. 758–
832) was the
Lombard prince of Benevento from the
817 to his own death in
832 or
834. Before that, he was the
gastald of
Acerenza. On the assassination of
Grimoald IV, Sico succeeded to the princely throne. He made the same empty pledges of tribute and fealty to the
Emperor Louis the Pious which Grimoald had made. He tried to extend the principality at the expense of
Byzantium. He besieged
Naples at an unknown date (perhaps c.
831), but couldn't take the city. He did, however, remove the body of
Saint Januarius, who had been
bishop of Benevento. It was also Sico who founded the line of
Capuan rulers by bestowing that ancient town on
Lando I as gastald. Lando honoured his benefactor by naming his first castle
Sicopolis. Sico died and was succeeded by his son
Sicard.
Sico's daughter Itta (or Ita or Itana), married
Guy I,
duke of Spoleto.
