Guaimar I had made his son, also …

Years: 901 - 901

Guaimar I had made his son, also Guaimar, co-prince, and it was he who had ruled Salerno in the elder Guaimar's absence.

Upon the elder prince's return, a Neapolitan faction in the city, supported by one Athanasius, revolts, but the two Guaimars put it down and the elder, like his father before him, retires (or is forced by his son) to a monastery, San Massimo, Guaifer's foundation, in 900 or 901, dying soon after.

The chronicles of his reign describe him in despotic terms and he does not seem to have been popular, despite the later popularity of his name within the dynasty his father had founded.
