Sergius I of Amalfi

Italian duke From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergius I (died 966/967) was the second Duke of Amalfi[citation needed] and first of the Musco Comite family.

In 958, Sergius, a citizen of the city of Amalfi, assassinated the first duke, Mastalus II and usurped the throne.[citation needed] He ruled joinly with his son Manso I,[citation needed] in order to establish a ducal dynasty as in Naples and Gaeta. When he died, Manso's succession was smooth.

Sergius had other sons named John, Adhemar, and Leo, as well as a son named Adelfer, who later also usurped rule in Amalfi.[citation needed]
