    Note: GUNDOALD (-murdered 612). Fredegar records that "Gundoaldus" invaded part of the kingdom of Guntram King of the Franks in Nov [584][20]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records that the Burgundians and Austrasians entered "paygo Suessionico cum Gundoaldo et Wintrione" and were defeated at "Brinnacum villam" and fled after the battle, dated to soon after the accession (in 592) of Childebert II as king in Burgundy[21]. The Annales Ducum Bavariæ name "Gundoaldo" as son of "Garibaldo rege Baiorionem" when recording that he and his father fled to Authari King of the Lombards in 593[22]. Duke of Asti: the Origo Gentis Langobardorum records that "Theudelenda frater…Gundoald" accompanied his sister to Italy and was installed as "ducem in civitatem Astense" by his brother-in-law King Authari[23]. Fredegar records the death of Gundoald "shot with an arrow while he was relieving nature"[24]. Paulus Diaconus records that "Gunduald…germanus Theudelindæ reginæ…dux in civitate Astensi" was killed by an arrow[25]. m ---, a Lombard. Fredegar records the marriage of "Gundoaldus" and "de gente nobile Langobardorum…uxorem", naming their two sons "Gundeberto et Chairiberto"[26]. Gundoald & his wife had two children: i) GUNDEBERT . Fredegar names "Gundeberto et Chairiberto" as the two sons of Gundoald & his wife[27]. ii) CHARIBERT (-after [628]). Fredegar names "Gundeberto et Chairiberto" as the two sons of Gundoald & his wife[28]. He supported his cousin Gundberga Queen of the Lombards in her dispute with her husband[29]. This dispute must have taken place in 628 at the earliest, assuming that the queen remained in exile for three years and her husband's accession took place in 625. same person as…? ARIBERT (-Ticino 661, bur Basilica of the Saviour, Ticinum). Paulus Diaconus records that Rodoald King of the Lombards was succeeded by "Aripert, filius Gundoaldi, qui fuerat germanus Theudelindæ reginæ"[30]. If this is correct, King Aribert was the first cousin, on her mother's side, of Queen Gundberga, the wife of at least two of King Aribert's predecessors. Primary sources report the activities of Queen Gundberga in detail, suggesting that she may have been a person of sufficient influence at the Lombard court to have engineered the succession of her relative. However, the relationship is not corroborated in other identified sources, all of which are silent on the origin of King Aripert. He succeeded in 652 as ARIPERT King of the Lombards. - KINGS of the LOMBARDS.

    Note: Gundoald (c. 565–616) was a Bavarian nobleman of the Agilolfing family, a son of Duke Garibald I and Waldrada, and Duke of Asti from sometime around 589. In 588 his elder sister Theudelinda was engaged to the king of the Lombards, Authari.[1] The potential marital alliance with the Lombards sparked an invasion by the Bavarains' overlords, the Franks, in 589. Theudelinda and Gundoald both fled to Italy. There Theudelinda married Authari in May, and Gundoald was invested with the duchy of Asti and the hand of a granddaughter of King Wacho in marriage. With her he had two children, (This would mean that he either married his sister or a cousin, not likely because was was a grandson of Wacho) Gundpert and Aripert. Gundoald was killed by an arrow in 616.

    Note: Bavaria was the only one of the four original provinces of Germany to maintain an autonomous existence within part of its original territory throughout the medieval and into the modern period. Formed as a Frankish protectorate by the Merovingians, and ruled by the dukes of the Agilolfing family, Bavaria was more or less independent from the mid-7th century. The Carolingians were less tolerant of this situation and invaded Bavaria in 724, 743 and 749[1]. Charles I King of the Franks finally conquered the duchy of Bavaria in 788, forcing the abdication of the last Agilolfing Duke Tassilo II. Bavaria was incorporated into the Frankish kingdom as a province, and was a sub-kingdom of the Carolingian Frankish empire from 814. After more than two centuries as a province in the Frankish empire, the Luitpolding family reasserted Bavarian autonomy in the early 10th century, by which time the central power of the Carolingians was in significant decline. Luitpold, the earliest known definite ancestor of the family, was related to Emperor Arnulf (although the precise relationship is unknown) who installed him in Bavaria in [895/98]. Some contemporary sources attribute the title dux to Luitpold and his son Arnulf, although others refer to them as comes. It is clear that the title dux was not at first formally recognised by the central authority of the kings of Germany as the early dukes are consistently referred to as comes in imperial diplomas until after the accession of King Otto I in 936. The deposition of Duke Eberhard in 938 by King Otto marked a temporary decline in the region's authority on a national level. Nevertheless, the internal position of the Bavarian dukes remained strong and unified, enabling them to maintain considerable influence over the counties within their duchy and claim reversionary rights in the estates of families which became extinct[2]. This is typified by the duke's role as commander of the tribal levy, in which even troops supplied to the king of Germany by the Bavarian bishops formed part of the ducal forces[3]. Between the mid-940s and 1180, the dukes of Bavaria belonged to seven different dynasties. Ducal appointment remained in the hands of the king/emperor who used it both as a means of rewarding service and strengthening his personal control over the province. The latter objective was in practice only achieved when the king/emperor retained the duchy within his own hands, as was the case with Heinrich II, Heinrich III and Heinrich IV (through his mother) at various different times in the 11th century. The installation of imperial relatives as dukes provided no guarantee of pliability, as Emperor Otto I found with his rebellious nephew Duke Heinrich II. The territory of the early marches in Bavaria remained under the control of the duke, who was the suzerain of the Markgrafen, which contrasted with the situation in Saxony. The march of the "Bayerischen Nordgau" was established by King Otto I in the early 940s along the border with Bohemia. The Ostmark, which later evolved into the margraviate of Austria, was formed in 976 by Emperor Otto II along the frontier with Hungary, although Markgrafen in the "Pannonian March" are recorded about a century earlier (see the document AUSTRIA). The "Kärntner Mark", which later developed into the Steiermark or Styria, was also established in the late 10th century, although the precise date is uncertain. Lastly, the march of Istria, which was able to establish greater autonomy because of its geographic distance from the central authority, was formed in north-east Italy in the early 11th century[4] (see the document CARINTHIA for the Kärtner Mark and the march of Istria). All the counties in Bavaria were fiefs of the duke, contrasting once more with the situation in Saxony. Jordan asserts that there is no record in the 12th century of a count in Bavaria being appointed by the crown[5], although it is clear that there must have been some crown land in Bavaria as Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" enfeoffed Heinrich "der Löwe" with numerous imperial fiefs when he installed him as duke of Bavaria in 1156[6]. Regensburg, always the residence of the dukes of Bavaria, became an imperial free city in the 13th century.
