Dipold

Count of Acerra
Years: 1165 - 1222

Dipold (died after 1221), known in German as Diepold or Dietpold von Schweinspeunt or Schweinspünt, wis a ministerialis who is raised to the Duchy of Spoleto in 1209.

Of Bavarian origin, he is a reputed younger son of Berthold II of Vohburg and Adelaide of Ballenstedt.

He is originally a vassal of the count of Lechsgemünd.

His career in the Mezzogiorno is marked by continual raids and sieges, battles, and sacks recounted in exhaustive detail by Richard of San Germano, a monk of the abbey whose lands were especially hard-hit.
