Garibald II
Garibald II (also Garibaldus ) was Duke of the Bavarians in Bavaria from 610 on . Possibly he ruled until almost the middle of the 7th century.
Life
Duke Garibald II comes from the Agilolfinger dynasty . Because of the extremely poor sources, not much more is known about his reign. It is also unclear how long Garibald II ruled.
Garibald was a son of Duke Tassilo I , whom he followed in office. Like him, Garibald was involved in battles with his Slavic neighbors. He was defeated by the Slavs near Aguntum in East Tyrol and the Bavarian region plundered. Subsequently, however, Baiern apparently succeeded in partially pushing back the Slavs. The Bavarians [...] gathered again, stole the booty from the enemy and drove them out of the country.
