List of counts 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. The following are the counts of Aversa:
- Rainulf I 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.
