Liutprand, King of the Lombards

Also known as: Liutprand, King of the Lombards; primary name: Liutprand
Details: individual; royal/imperial; Male
Other dates: 712-744 (Reign)
Bibliography: King of the Lombards from 712 to 744, was the king that donated lands to Pope Gregory II (Donation of Sutri) in 728. His reign was marked by several wars and conflicts, mostly successful, and took advantage of the weakness of the Byzantine empire to enlarge his domains in Emilia Romagna. Liutprand's life began inauspiciously. His father was driven to exile among the Bavarians, his older brother Sigipert was blinded by Aripert II, king of the Lombards and his mother and sister were mutilated. Liutprand was spared only because his youth made him appear harmless. He was released from Aripert I's custody and allowed to join his father (Paul the Deacon, VI.xxii).
