Agilolfings and Regensburg
Wikipedia reports that the "Agilolfings were a family of either Frankish or Bavarian nobility that ruled the Duchy of Bavaria on behalf of Merovingian suzerains from about 550 until 788. ... A cadet branch of the Agilolfings also ruled the Lombard Italy intermittently from 616 to 712. [4]
The Lex Baiuvariorum issued about 743 denoted the Agilolfings as the leading dynasty, enthroned by the Merovingian kings of the Franks. Their Bavarian residence was at Regensburg. As they had their fate intertwined with the Merovingian dynasty, they opposed the rise of the Carolingian major-domos, who finally deprived the Agilolfings of their power. [4]
