Liutpert

Liutpert, born in the year six hundred eighty-five, ascended to the throne as the Lombard king of Italy following the reign of his father, King Cunincpert. His early years were marked by the guidance of his tutor, Ansprand, the duke of Asti, as he navigated the complexities of leadership at a tender age.

His reign, however, was tumultuous. After a brief period of rule lasting eight months, Liutpert faced a significant challenge when he was deposed by Raginpert, the duke of Turin and a member of the Godepert lineage. This setback did not deter him, as he managed to reclaim his throne several months later following Raginpert's death.

Unfortunately, Liutpert's return to power was short-lived. He was once again deposed, captured in Pavia, and ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of Aripert II, Raginpert's son, who drowned him. His remains were laid to rest in the Basilica of Santissimo Salvatore in Pavia, marking the end of a brief yet eventful reign.
