Accardo conte di Lecce and his wife Gunnora were the founders of the Monastero Benedettino of S. Giovanni Evangelista di Lecce of which their daughters were abbesses in turn and where some documents of their time are still preserved. He passed away about 1137. For details on the ancestors of the family see Emma Lecce (Lecce-1)
Note: "Lecce" a town of Apulia in southern Italy, held in the XI -XII centuries by norman conquerors, has nothing to do with "Lecco" a town in Lombardy, northern Italy, near Milan, sometimes mentioned as birthplace of Accardo.
