Pandenulf recognised Lando in Caiazzo, but a schism began in the Capuan church over the rightful bishop.
Pope John VIII decided in favour of Landenulf, but made Landulf bishop of "Old" Capua, Santa Maria Capuavetere.
He brought on his cousins the deposed Lando II and Landulf of Suessola and the prince of Salerno, Guaifer.
Athanasius of Naples allied with Pandenulf, but after seizing desired land in Liburia, he abandoned the count.
Erchempert here gives an indication of Lando's character, describing him as too indolent to even take action against his brother, who was then befriending his worst enemy.
