Biografie

"Agilulf (* um 420; † um 482) war ein Fürst der Sueben und Quaden. [1]
Er war vermutlich der Sohn des donau-suebischen Fürsten Hunimund Filius Hermanarici (* um 395; † nach 469 in Suavia). Er bedrohte Passau und könnte Arianer gewesen sein. Agilulf war vermutlich Stammvater der Agilolfinger und Vater des Herzogs Theodo I. der Sueben/Quaden (* um 455; † um/nach 530), der zwischen 490 und 530 den Neustamm der Bajuwaren bildete." [1]

Genealogieonline, based on Ancestry.com trees, states that Agiluilf was born February 27, 495. [2] An exact date for a birth would be very unusual for this time period.

He was probably the son of Hunimund, and was possibly an Arian. Agilulf is considered the founder of the Agilolfings dynasty. [3]

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]
