  Authari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After his father, King Cleph, died in 574, the Lombardic nobility refused to appoint a successor, resulting in ten years' interregnum.
Only in 584, when Italy was threatened by a union between the Carolingians and the Byzantine Empire, was Authari elected king.
Authari died in Pavia in 590, possibly by poison.

His successor, Cleph, was also killed in a conspiracy after a ruthless reign of 18 months: his death began an interregnum of years during which the dukes did not elect any king, and which is regarded as a period of violence and disorder.
In 584, threatened by a Frankish invasion, the dukes elected king Cleph's son, Authari: in 589, he married Theodelinda, daughter of the duke of the Bavarians, Garibald I (Bavaria).
In the meantime Authari embarked on a policy of internal reconciliation and tried to reorganize the administration: the dukes yielded half of their estates for the mantenaince of the king and his court in Pavia.

 Theodelinda - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Theodelinda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Theodelinda, Queen of the Lombards, (died 628) was the daughter of Duke Garibald I of Bavaria.
She was married first in 588 to Authari, King of the Lombards, son of King Kleph, and when he died, was allowed to pick (as her next husband, Agilulf) his successor.
She thereafter exerted much influence in restoring Athanasian Christianity (that is to say, the ancestor of modern Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy) to a position of primacy in Italy against its rival, Arian Christianity.

Authari moves to cross the edge of the pit, then assists with the planking so that the mule may cross.
Authari, Brianna and Amber, with a little bit of work, are able to rig a sort of bridge that will allow the mule to pass into the left hand passage.
Authari and Amber, still in the passage that the group entered this area by (and just beyond the hole in the floor) are constrained from moving forward by the people in front of them.

 Ancient Lore
Authari stumbles from his bedroll, and with a longing glance at his chain armor, picks up his battleaxe and moves toward the dwarf and ranger, able to make out the scene in the light from Corin's makeshift torch and Mililani's Light spell.
At the same time, Authari stalks closer to the spider, trying to move in close enough to land a blow with the axe, but unwilling to move beyond the light cast by the ranger's torch.
Authari follows the ranger with his burden to the overhang, then after a slight hesitation, begins to help by fetching large stones for the burial.

Gregory's childhood in the disasters of the Gothic War, his secular cursus honorum, his sojourn in Constantinople, and doubtless his personal assessment of the Exarch, convinced him that no help from the East was to be expected in the confrontations with the Lombards that began his pontificate.
Authari's Queen, the famous Theodelinda, married Agilulf, Lombard dux in Turin, while the independent dukes Ariulf of Spoleto and Arichis of Benevento, threatened papal and imperial territories in the south.
Gregory expressed the difficulty and danger of his position in some of the earliest letters (Epistles I, iii, viii, xxx); but no actual hostilities began until the summer of 592, when a threatening letter from Ariulf of Spoleto was followed by the appearance of the Lombard before the walls of Rome.

 Northvegr - History of the Langobards
The king Flavius Authari sent an embassy to Childepert asking that the sister of the latter should be united to him in marriage.
And without delay he dispatched his army into Italy for the subjugation of the Langobards.[1] King Authari and the troops of the Langobards quickly went forth to meet him and fought bravely for their freedom.
Theudelinda was, on her mother's side, the granddaughter of the former Langobard king Waccho, of the race of the Lethingi, with which Authari, who sprang from the later stock of Beleos, desired an alliance to give an additional sanction of legitimacy to his royal title.

Authari was polite enough not to point that out; Authari, whatever else he was, was usually polite.
If Authari hadn't thought he might suggest the Sibyl as a means of resolving their dispute, Authari hadn't looked very far ahead.
Authari had the look of a man who'd just discovered his lady friend not only had a husband but that the fellow was twice his size and bad tempered to boot.

The name Theodon suggests he is the second husband of of Theodelinda 'Queen of Lombards' who was married to Authari 'King of Lombards, who had a son named Agilulf, who appears to be the same - one genealogy saying Theodelinda married here step-son, while another shows she married her own son by Authari.
Authari was given the name 'Flavius' (as was Wolf Dietric Von Burne) by Emperor Maurice of the Byzantine empire at Ravena, where Authari's mother, Rosamund, took the massive Lombard treasure, after having her husband, Alboin, slain - after he forced her to drink from her father's skull.

 The Lombards
Under this threat, and with the presence of hostile Slavs and Avars in Istria, the Lombards re-established a unified monarchy under Authari son of Cleph.
Under Authari and his son Agilulf (590-616), an embryonic Lombard kingdom began to take shape.
Under the influence of the Bavarian princess, Theudelinde (already related to the Lombard royal house through her mother, and the wife first of Authari, then of her step-son, Agilulf), the Lombards gradually began to convert to Catholicism, although their kings initially resisted this.

 A Ravenna Study by Joseph Edmund Hutton eBook by BookRags
It is true that a pause in the Lombard advance followed the death of Alboin, and that Cleph, his successor, was soon murdered.
But the pause in the advance, though, through it all, Rome was blockaded, was due to the fact that Authari, the heir to the Lombard throne, was but a boy.
In the following year Smaragdus, as we may think, was appointed to succeed Longinus and apparently with new powers, and three years later, in the very year that the heroic Insula Comacina was taken by the Lombards, Classis was recovered for the empire.

In 584, threatened by a Frankish invasion that the dukes had provoked, the Lombards made Cleph's son Authari king; when he died in 590 he was succeeded by Agilulf, duke of Turin, who was able to recover most of those portions of Italy that had been lost to a Frankish-Byzantine alliance.
When Authari became king the dukes surrendered half their estates for the maintenance of the king and his court.
Pavia, where the royal palace was located, became the centre of administrative organization.

They clearly attempted to capture the whole of the peninsula, but lacked the resources to do so, being relatively few in number and often divided amongst themselves, to the extent that one of the Byzantines' main tactics against them seems to have been attempting to bribe some of their leaders.
The popes owned large amounts of land, and to a large extent enjoyed the support of the populace, providing as they did a rudimentary system of social security for the poor which they financed with the income from their estates.
The eastern empire's hold on Italy was often tenuous, and the papacy to a large extent propped it up, fearing the militant paganism of the Lombards, exemplified by Authari's anti-Catholic edict of 590 (Authari died soon after - divine justice according to Gregory the Great!).
