Agilolfings in the context of Visigothic

Garibald I (also spelled Garivald; Latin: Garibaldus; born c. 540) was Duke (or king) of Bavaria from 555 until 591.

He was the first known ruler of Bavaria and the head of the Agilolfings, a noble family of Frankish origin. Garibald is regarded as the founder of the Bavarian dynasty, and an ancestor of several prominent figures in the Kingdom of the Lombards.

Agilulf (c. 420 – after 482) was a chieftain of the Suebian Quadi. He was probably the son of Hunimund, and was possibly a follower of Arius. Agilulf is considered the founder of the Agilolfings dynasty of the Baiuvarii.

The Alaholfings (occasionally Ahalolfings) were a noble family of Alemannia in the Early Middle Ages. They were related to the previous rulers of Alemannia, to the Bavarian Agilolfings and to the Geroldings. Their original power base was around the upper Neckar and Danube rivers. They came to possess lands in not only Alemannia, but also in Bavaria, Franconia and Italy.

The Ahalolfings are divided into two groups, the older and the younger. It is not certain how the two groups are related. The older group descends from a Berthold who was the joint founder, with Hnabi, of Reichenau Abbey in 724. His most famous descendant was Cadolah, Duke of Friuli, who defended the Pannonian plains into Italy from the Avars.
