Principality of Benevento

Howdy.

Will there ever be an addition of the Principality of Benevento? It makes sense for its existence considering the Principality of Salerno exists in the timeline of HIP.
Would there also be the inclusion of the history of Duke Pandulf Ironhead and his history of holding the title of Spoleto and his land being split between his sons?

I would say it is more likely for Capua to get a titular k_title, than Benevento. For the SWMH time-period, Benevento was in pretty clear decline, being relegated to a pretty clear third place in prestige amongst the Langobardo Principalities.

From 900-981 it was even usurped by the Princes of Capua, who of course kept the title, but it didn't become their primary title. They remained first and foremost Princes of Capua.

Pandulf Ironhead falls into this period. He was one of these Capuan Princes, who also ruled over Benevento. But Pandulf is definetely gonna get his own bookmark when we get that far back. He is a tremendously interesting character.
