Ansprand I, king of the Lombards

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansprand

Ansprand (c. 657 – 712) was king of the Lombards briefly in 712. Before that, he was the duke of Asti and regent during the minority of Liutpert (700–701). He was defeated at Novara by Raginpert and exiled during the subsequent war over the succession, fleeing to the court of Theudebert, duke of Bavaria, in 702.

In 711, he returned with a large army from the duke. Many Austrians (the men of Venetia and the east) joined the returning regent and battle ensued near Pavia, between his forces and those of King Aripert II, who had usurped the throne. Aripert fled to his capital when the tide went against him, but he hoarded the treasures and tried to cross over into Gaul by night. He drowned in the Ticino River and Ansprand was acclaimed sovereign.

He ascended the throne in March and died in June, leaving his only surviving son, Liutprand, the kingdom.[1] He was married to Teudelinda (8th-century), and was the father of Imberg.

1. ANSPRAND, son of --- (-712, bur Basilica of Hadrian). King Cunincpert appointed him guardian for his son when the latter succeeded in 700 as king of the Lombards[517]. Ansprand fled after the battle at which Liutprand's forces were finally defeated by King Aripert II, first to the island of Commacina, then to Clavenna and later to Bavaria where he took refuge with Theutpert dux of Bavaria, remaining there for nine years[518]. Paulus Diaconus records that Ansprand invaded Italy (after ten years exile in Bavaria) with Duke Theutpert, deposed King Aribert and succeeded as ANSPRAND King of the Lombards, although he died three months later[519]. A later manuscript of the Origo Gentis Langobardorum names "Asprand" when recording that he succeeded "Aripert" and ruled for three years[520].

m THEODORADA, daughter of --- (-after 702). Paulus Diaconus records that Theodorada wife of King Ansprand had her nose and ears cut by King Aripert II after boasting that she would some day become queen of the Lombards[521].
