Garibald (Longobard)
Garibald was briefly king of the Lombards in 671 .
Garibald was the son of King Grimoald and his wife, who was a sister of Grimoald's rival Perctarit . When Grimoald died aged 671 and Garibald was his successor, he lived in exile in Franconia , but had many followers in Italy . This called Perctarit, who had already ruled as king 661–662, back into the country. Garibald was deposed, just three months in office, and a popular assembly unanimously elected Perctarit as his successor.
