B: ABT 565 TO ABT 590
General Notes
Authari married Theodelinda, a daughter of Garibald, duke of the Bavarians. She played an important part in Lombard history as the mediator between the Lombards and the Catholic Church. Authari, who had brought her to Italy, died shortly after his marriage (951). But Theodelinda had so won on the Lombard chiefs that they bid her as queen choose the one among them whom she would have for her husband and for king. She chose Agilulf, duke of Turin (592-615), a Thuringian noble by birth. Agilulf was followed, after two unimportant reigns, by his son-in-law, the husband of Theodelinda's daughter, King Rothari (636-652). [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 14, LOMBARDS].

Theodelinda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodelinda, Queen of the Lombards, (ca 570 - died 628) was the daughter of Duke Garibald I of Bavaria.
She was married first in 588 to Authari, King of the Lombards, son of King Kleph. When he died in 590 , she was allowed to pick (as her next husband, Agilulf) his successor in 591. She thereafter exerted much influence in restoring Nicene Christianity (that is to say, the ancestor of modern Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy) to a position of primacy in Italy against its rival, Arian Christianity.
After the conversion of Authari to the Catholic faith, she started building churches in Lombardy and Tuscany, among them the cathedral of Monza and the first Baptistery of Florence. They were all dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.
