Agilolfing in the context of "Theoderic II"

The Bavarian dynasty refers to those kings of the Lombards who were descended from Garibald I of Bavaria, a member of the Agilolfing dynasty and duke of Bavaria. They came to rule the Lombards through Garibald's daughter, Theodelinda, who married King Authari in 588. The Bavarians (Italian: Bavaresi) were effectively a branch of the Agilolfings, and can be divided into two lines: the female line, descended through Theodelinda, and the male line, through Garibald's son Gundoald.

Of the female line, only Adaloald—Theodelinda's son by her second husband, Agilulf—reigned. Her son-in-law Arioald, husband of her daughter Gundeberga, also became king.

Gundoald or Gundwald (c. 565–616) was a Bavarian nobleman of the Agilolfing family, a son of Duke Garibald I and Waldrada, and Duke of Asti from around 589.

In 588 his elder sister Theudelinda was engaged to the king of the Lombards, Authari. The potential marriage alliance with the Lombards sparked an invasion by the Bavarians' overlords, the Franks, in 589. Theudelinda and Gundoald both fled to Italy. There Theudelinda married Authari in May, and Gundoald was invested with the duchy of Asti and the granddaughter of King Wacho in marriage. With her he had two children, Gundpert and Aripert.

Cotefredus (also Gotfrid or Gotefrid, modernized Gottfried) (c. 650–709) was the Duke of Alamannia in the late 7th century and until his death. He was of the house of the Agilolfing, which was the dominant ruling family in the Frankish Duchy of Bavaria.

In a document dated to the year 700 in Cannstatt, Cotefredus at the request of a priest named Magulfus donated the castle of Biberburg to the monastery of Saint Gall.

Hnabi or Nebi (c. 710 – c. 789) was an Alemannian duke. He was the son of Huoching and perhaps a grandson of Duke Gotfrid, which would make him a scion of the Agilolfing dynasty of Bavaria. He was the founder of the "old" line of the Ahalolfings. Around 724, he was one of the joint founders of the monastery of Reichenau.

By his wife Hereswind (Hereswintha) von Bodensee, Hnabi left at least two children, Ruadbert (Rodbert, Robert), who was count in the Hegau, and Imma or Emma (died c. 785), who married Gerold of Anglachgau and was the mother of Eric of Friuli and Hildegard, wife of Charlemagne. Rodbert son of Hnabi is mentioned in a St. Gall document dated 770. Imma is mentioned in documents of Lorsch, Fulda and St. Gall between 779 and 804.
