[gothic-l] Re: Goths, Bavarians and Heruls

[dirk at SMRA.CO.UK]

Hi Cory and Keth,

I suppose one aspect that reflects the ethnic and historic influences
on the Bajuvarii quite well is the geneology of the Bavarian ducal
house, the Agilofings.

The first duke of all Bavaria is Garibald I. His family tree looks
something like this:


Roduulf King of the Heruls, son-in-arms of Theoderic

son:
Fara, Herulic Prince, and Bavarian duke, died 535AD

first son of Fara:
1. Sinduald, Herulic Prince, died 565 AD
son of Sinduald: TASSILO I, Duke of Bavaria

second son of Fara:
2. GARIBALD, Bavarian duke
married Wulderade, Langobardic Princess

children of Garibald:
1. Theudeline (married Authari and later Agiulf, Langobardic Kings)
2. Gundoald (Langobardic Duke of Asti, and father of Aripert I)



There is also another Bavarian duke with the name Fara who died in
641AD. His father was Chrodoald, a Langobardic duke and his son was
Theodo II, duke of Bavaria.


According to this geneology, the Bavarian ducal house of the
Agilofings is an extention of the Herulic royal house and the
Langobardic royal house. Apart from demonstrating the complicated
dynastic relationships, it also seems to show the fate of (at least a
part) of the royal house of the Heruls.


cheers,

Dirk
