Agiprand of Spoleto
Deceased Person
Who is Agiprand of Spoleto?
Agiprand was briefly the Duke of Spoleto between 742 and 744.
In late 741, Thrasimund II refused to return to Pope Gregory III those cities he had promised him and Gregory's successor, Zachary, turned for support to King Liutprand. Zachary donated a Roman army to support the Lombards and together they took Spoleto and Liutprand installed his own nephew, Agiprand, as duke.
Agiprand was already the duke of Clusium when he was invested with Spoleto. Agiprand escorted Zachary back to Rome from Interamna and restored the cities he requested.
Agiprand's reign did not survive the death of Liutprand, when he was removed from power by Thrasimund.
