Regents of Benevento, Capua and Salerno

The duchy of Benevento was created in southern Italy in the late 6^th when Italy was conquered by the Lombards. Benevento was elevated to a principality after Charlemagne's conquest of the Lombard kingdom and it managed thereafter for the most of the time to maintain its independence from the Franks. It was however in 840 partitioned into three parts (Benevento, Capua and Salerno). All these so called Lombard principalities were conquered by the Normans in the 11t^th and then merged into the kingdom of Sicily, which was created in 1130. A small fraction of the the principality of Benevento (the city itself) became however a part of the Papal States and remained, apart from 1806-1815 when Napoleon's minister Talleyrand was its prince, under Papal rule until the unification of Italy in 1860.
