EspañolADHEMAR OF SALERNO
'Adhemar' or 'Ademar' (Latin: ''Ademarius'') was the son of Prince Peter of Salerno. He succeeded his father, a usurper, in 853.
Adhemar's rule was unpopular. The counts of Capua whittled away at his princely authority and territory. In 858, he had to call in the assistance of Guy I of Spoleto, who demanded the Liri Valley in return.
In 861, a popular revolt, led by Guaifer of the Dauferidi, overthrew him and imprisoned him. He was tortured and subsequently blinded. Guaifer was elected to replace him.
