Audelahis
Audelahis (also Audelais, Adelais, Andelais ; † after 733) was Duke of Benevento from 731/732 to 733 .
Life
There are no records about Audelahis' origins and youth. Some historians suggest that Audelahis was the referendarius des dux Romuald II . When Romuald II died in 731 or 732, a follow-up dispute broke out in which the usurper Audelahis initially asserted himself against Gisulf II , who was still a small child. He ruled for two years before he was overthrown by supporters of Gisulf. King Liutprand , who intervened in the dispute, appointed his own nephew Gregorius as dux and took Romuald's underage son Gisulf II to Pavia, where he raised him like a son. Audelahis' further fate is unknown.
