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].
They had a son named UNKNOWN.
