Landulf (died 25 October 1079) was the bishop of Pisa from the spring of 1077 until his death. His election marked a return to canon law in Pisa and he was consecrated by Pope Gregory VII. His election was also supported by Marchioness Matilda of Tuscany, who made a large donation to the canons of the cathedral during his episcopate.
On 1 September 1077, Pope Gregory appointed Landulf, then bishop-elect, the permanent legate of the Holy See in Corsica. On 16 September he sent a letter to the all the clergy and laity of Corsica reminding them of the papal lordship over their island and informing them that he was sending Landulf to safeguard the rights of the Holy See there. On 30 November 1078, Gregory confirmed the canonicity of Landulf's election, promised papal protection to his diocese and extended the vicariate in Corsica to Landulf's successors.
At the Lenten synod held in Rome in 1079, the theologian Berengar of Tours, charged with heresy, accused Landulf and his fellow Italian bishop, Ulrich of Padua, of having convinced Pope Gregory to refuse to allow Berengar to prove his orthodoxy by an oath and an ordeal. Landulf and Ulrich prevailed on the synod to defer the issue to the next Lenten council.
Landulf of Turin (died 1037) was an Italian bishop. He was bishop of Turin from 1011 until his death in 1037.
According to Peter Damian, Landulf was an imperial chaplain, before Henry II appointed him bishop of Turin. One of Landulf’s first acts as bishop of Turin was to confirm, and increase, the donations of his predecessor, Bishop Gezo of Turin, to the episcopal monastery of San Solutore in Turin. In January 1015, Landulf was in Rome, where he witnessed Pope Benedict VIII’s confirmation of the Abbey of Fruttuaria’s ‘apostolic liberty’. In 1017 Landulf made a donation to the episcopal convent of San Pietro in Turin. In 1022, Landulf was present at the synod of Pavia, presided over by Benedict VIII and Henry II. Around 1028 Landulf worked with Ulric Manfred II of Turin, Bishop Alric of Asti, and Archbishop Aribert of Milan to combat heresy at Monforte. Because the diocese of Turin had been devastated "not only by pagans, but also by perfidious Christians" (non solum a paganis verum etiam a perfidis christianis), Landulf pursued a policy of reconstruction during his episcopate. He restored the cathedral church of Turin, and built new churches and fortifications in Chieri, Testona, Rivalba, Piobesi, Piasco, Mathi, Mocoriadum and Tizanum. He also founded the monastery of Santa Maria in Cavour, which he endowed with property around Pinerolo.
