In and the duke went into hiding. For Sergius, however, fortune reversed itself when Pandulf was abandoned by his Norman ally, Rainulf Drengot in 1029 . Sergius and the duke of Gaeta , John VI, sent an embassy to the Norman to ask his assistance in regaining the Neapolitan duchy. In that year, Pandulf was chased from Naples and Sergius reinstated. Early in 1030 , Sergius gave Rainulf the county of Aversa as a fief, the first Norman principality in the region. Sergius gave his sister in marriage to the new count. In 1034 , Pandulf instigated a revolt in Sorrento and made it subject to Capua. In the same year, Sergius' sister died and Rainulf returned to Pandulf's side. The duke of Naples, disloyally abandoned by his greatest beneficiary and benefactor, retired to a Monastery , broken in spirit. He died soon afterwards. He was succeeded by his son John V. REFERENCES
