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.
