Gisulf I, duke of Friuli

MedLands

GISULF, son of --- . Shield-bearer of Alboin King of the Lombards, who installed him as duke in the region of Friuli after the Longobard migration into Italy in [569][169], in effect succeeding as GISULF I Duke of Friulia. Paulus Diaconus records that King Alboin installed "Gisulfum…suum nepotem" as "ducem…[in] Foroiulanæ civitati"[170]. The Chronicle of Andreas Bergomatis records that Alboin conceded Friuli to "nepoti sui Gisolfi"[171]. The precise relationship between Gisulf and King Alboin is unknown and may have been more remote than implied by "nephew" if the word nepos if translated strictly in these passages.

If there is really a reason to exclude the father-son Wiki ENG connection (presumed?),
we can still proceed with the nephew-uncle connection, through an "X profile".

Gisulf I was probably the first duke of Friuli (then Forum Julii), a nephew of Alboin, first king of the Lombards in Italy. Alboin appointed him duke around 569 after the Lombard conquest of the region, though some scholars believe he appointed Gisulf's father, his brother, Grasulf, duke.

Before this, Gisulf had been his uncle's marpahis or "master of the horse," sometimes considered a shield-bearer. He was, according to Paul the Deacon, "a man suitable in every way." He asked Alboin for permission to chose which faras or clans he would lead rule over in Friuli and this request was granted. He thus chose which families would settle permanently in Friuli and he "acquired the honour of a leader (ducior)." As well, Alboin granted him a great herd of mares, perhaps in recognition of his former service.

Grasulf I (died after 571) was a brother of Alboin, the first Lombard King of Italy, and possibly the first Duke of Friuli. Grasulf's son, Gisulf, is the other candidate for first Duke of Friuli. Paul the Deacon names Gisulf, but some scholars have favoured Grasulf based on a diplomatic letter which refers to him as duke.

This letter was written by Gogo, Frankish mayor of the palace of Austrasia under Sigebert I and Childebert II, sometime between Gogo's rise to power in 571 and his death in 581. It is undated and unattached to the name of either king he served. It has traditionally been assigned to around the year of his death (581), but an alternative solution put forward by Walter Goffart places it as early as 571–572 around the time of Sigebert's embassy to Constantinople. In it Gogo urges Grasulf to ally himself with the Franks to oust the infestantes (presumably the Lombards) from Italy in league with the Byzantine Empire and the Papacy. Ambassadors were waiting in Austrasia for Grasulf's reply in case he wished to delay his response to the emperor.

While the exact location of Grasulf's seat of power is unknown, if he did rule, the letter from Gogo is evidence that the "Friulian court" was capable of handling sophisticated imperial correspondence less than a decade after the Lombard arrival on Italian soil.

Hertug Gisulf av Friuli c. 569 - c. 590

Gisulf I (GisulfusI) var den første hertugen av Friuli Han var en nevø av kong Alboin, langobardenes første konge i Italia. Gisulf ble utnevnt som hertug av Friuli - ca 569, etter at langobardene hadde tatt kontroll over regionen.

Før dette hadde Gisulf vært Alboin's marpahis eller "master av hesten", noen ganger vurdert som skjold-bærer. Han var Ifølge Paulus Diaconus, "en mann som passer på alle måter."

Alboin ga han tillatelse til å velge hvilke folkegrupper han ville regjere over i Friuli. og han valgte som familier som ville bosette seg permanent i Friuli og som viste respekt for lederen, hertugen. Som annerkjennelse for tidligere tjenester ga Alboin han en stor flokk med hester (hopper), Navnet på hans kone er ikke kjent, en vet om to sønner, Sønnen Gisulf etterfulgte han. Det nøyaktig forholdet mellom Gisulf og kongen Alboin er ukjent og det kan ha vært fjernere enn av "nevø" for ordet nepos er oversatt strengt her. Korset på bilde har tradisjonelt vært knytt til Gisulf.
