Liutpert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liutpert or Liutbert (d.702) was the Lombard king of Italy from 700 and to 702, with interruption. Upon succeeding his father, King Cunincpert, at a young age, he ruled together with his tutor, Ansprand, the duke of Asti. After eight months, he was deposed by Raghinpert, the duke of Turin and son of Godepert, Liutpert's great-uncle, but succeeded in returning to the throne several months later upon Raghinpert's death, only to be deposed again, taken captive from Pavia, and drowned by Aripert II, Raghinpert's son.
