Agiprand (Spoleto)
Agiprand (also Asprand ; † after 744) was up to 742 dux of the Lombard Duchy of Chiusi and from 742 to 744 dux of the Duchy of Spoleto .
Life
Agiprand was a nephew of King Liutprand . His parents are unknown.
In 742 Agiprand was dux of Clusium when he escorted Pope Zacharias of Interamna ( Terni ), where he had negotiated with King Liutprand, to Rome and gave him the cities of Ameria ( Amelia ), Horta ( Orte ), Polimartium ( Bomarzo ) and Bieda ( Blera ) handed over. King Liutprand moved to Spoleto with an army in 742, whose rebellious dux Transamund II he deposed and banished to the monastery. The duchy gave Liutprand to his nephew Agiprand. Details of Agiprand's rule are not known. After Liutprand's death in 744, Agiprand was driven out or killed by Transamund.
