BAVARIAN DYNASTY

(Redirected from Bavarian Dynasty)
The 'Bavarian Dynasty' is the name given to those kings of the Lombards who were descended from Garibald I, duke of Bavaria. There were really two branches to the dynasty: the branch descended in the female line through Garibald's eldest child and daughter, Theodelinda, and the branch descended from Garibald's eldest son Gundoald. Of the first branch, only Theodelinda's son by Agilulf, Adaloald, reigned, though her son-in-law Arioald (married to her daughter Gundiberga) also ruled. Through Gundoald, six kings reigned in succession, broken only by the usurper Grimuald, who married Gundoald's granddaughter:

★ Aripert I (653 - 661), son of Gundoald

★ Godepert (661 - 662), eldest son of previous, jointly with

★ Berthari (661 - 662, 672 - 688), second son of Aripert I, jointly with above until 662

★ Cunincpert (688 - 700), son of previous

★ Liutpert (700 - 701), son of previous

★ Raginpert (701), son of Godepert

★ Aripert II (701 - 712), son of previous
