Origo Gentis Langobardorum (640 - 680) Anonymous - Other |
| Quotation |
Et exivit Acquo dux Turingus de Thaurinis, et iunxit se Theudelendae reginae, et factus est rex Langobardorum; et occidit duces revelles suos, Zangrolf de Verona, Mimulf de insula Sancti Juliani et Gaidulf de Bergamum, et alios qui revelles fuerunt; et genuit Acquo de Theodelenda filiam nomine Gunperga. |
| Translation |
And Acquo, the Thuringian duke, departed from Turin and united himself with queen Theudelenda and became king of the Langobards. And he killed his rebel dukes Zangrolf of Verona, Mimulf of the island of St. Julian, and Gaidulf of Bergamo, and the others who were rebels. And Acquo begot of Theudelenda a daughter, Gunperga by name.
(W.D. Foukes, trans., E. Peters, ed., Origo gentis langobardorum (1974), p. 320) |
| Summary |
The Origo next recounts that after the death of King Authari, Acquo [Agilulf] the Thuringian, the then duke of Turin, married Queen Theudelenda and became king of the Langobards himself. They had a daughter together, Gunperga. It appears that Acquo becoming king was not widely accepted at first, and the Origo names three dukes who rebelled that he had executed: Zangrolf of Verona, Mimulf of the island of St. Julian, and Gaidulf of Bergamo |
