Family

Authari was the son of Cleph II, King of the Lombards

Authari married Theodelinda, daughter of the Bavarian duke Garibald I, on 15 May 589 at Verona. A detailed account of the courtship by the eighth-century historian Paul the Deacon revealed that the marriage was also a political alliance designed to provide additional sanction to Authari's royal position.[11]

When Authari died in Pavia in 590, possibly by poison, he was succeeded as king by Agilulf , duke of Turin, on the advice, sought by the dukes, of Theodelinda, who married the new king.[13][c]
