Perctarit
Perctarit (also Berthari) (died 688) was king of the Lombards from 661 to 662 the first time and later from 671 to 688.
He was the son and successor of Aripert I.
He shared power with his brother Godepert.
He was a Catholic, whereas Godepert was an Arian.
He ruled from Milan, Godepert from Pavia.
Godepert called for the aid of Duke Grimoald I of Benevento in a war with Perctarit, but the Beneventan had him assassinated and took control of the kingdom, forcing Perctarit to flee.
Perctarit first arrived at the court of the Avar khagan Kakar.
Meanwhile, his wife, , and their son Cunincpert were captured by Grimoald and sent to Benevento.
Perctarit returned soon thereafter to conspire against Grimoald, but fled again to Francia.
When Grimoald concluded a treaty with the Franks, Perctarit prepared to flee to Britain, but news of Grimoald's death reached him first.
In 671, Perctarit returned from exile and reclaimed his realm, which was being ruled on behalf of Grimoald's son Garibald.
He made Catholicism the official religion, but did not recognise papal authority.
He made peace with the Byzantines and associated Cunincpert with the throne in 678.
He sought to put down the rebellion of Alagis, duke of Trent.
It was to be his only campaign; he captured the duke, then pardoned and released him.
Perctarit was assassinated in 688 by a conspiracy.
His daughter Wigilinda married Duke Grimoald II of Benevento, son of Romuald I of Benevento.
Perctarit's reign is not noted for its military accomplishments, but for his religious endowments.
He built the churches of Saint Agatha and the Virgin (outside the walls) at Pavia.
He was succeeded by his more warlike son, who was to fight to no avail against the man his father had caught and let go.
Perctarit and Rodelinde themselves were to live on in opera as the Bertarido and Rodelinda of Handel's "Rodelinda, Regina de' Longobardi", though not much of their actual history survived in Nicola Francesco Haym's libretto, drawn more from Pierre Corneille's Pertharite than from Historia Langobardorum.

Cunipert
Cunincpert (also Cunibert or Cunipert) was king of the Lombards from 688 to 700.
He succeeded his father Perctarit, though he was associated with the throne from 680.
Soon after his assumption of the sole kingship, Cunincpert was ousted by Alahis, duke of Brescia (who had previously been duke of Trento).
Alahis had also rebelled during the reign of Perctarit, but it was Cunincpert who, according to Paul the Deacon in the "Historia Langobardorum", had persuaded his father to show mercy.
Perctarit is reported to have warned his son of the consequences.
It was thus soon after Perctarit's death that Alahis forced Cunincpert to flee to Isola Comacina, an island in the middle of Lake Como.
The only extant record of the rule of Alahis is contained in "Book V" of Paul
the Deacon's "Historia Langobardorum".
His rule is portrayed as burdensome and tyrannical, and particularly antagonistic to the Catholic Church.
Having lost the support of the Church and, crucially, of the 'people' (notably the brothers Aldo and Grauso of Brescia), Cunincpert was able to return to Pavia and resume control.
Alahis, however, was able to acquire sufficient support to bring the matter to battle.
Cunincpert, with the men of Piedmont, defeated Alahis and the men of Venetia at the Battle of Coronate, on the Horn of the Adda, near Lodi, in 689.
Alahis was slain in battle.
Cunincpert suppressed other insurrections during his reign, including that of the usurper Duke Ansfrid of Friuli.
He also successfully settled the schism in the Italian church between Aquileia and Grado.
He died in 700 and was succeeded by his young son Liutpert, the regent Ansprand, and many rebels.
Many wars took place during his reign.
He is notably the first Lombard monarch to strike coins in his image.
