Liutpert
Liutpert († 703 ) was 700–701 king of the Longobards .
Liutpert was the son of the Lombard king Cunincpert and his Anglo-Saxon wife Hermelinda.
Liutpert was still a minor when his father died in 700, so that Ansprand , Liutprand's father, reigned for him. After eight months, Raginpert , the dux (Duke) of Turin , who, as Cunincpert's nephew, was also an Agilolfinger , rose. In the Battle of Novariae ( Novara ) in 701 he was able to prevail against Ansprand and dux Rotharit of Bergamo and usurp the throne. He died that same year, after which his son Aripert II succeeded him as king.
In the battle of Ticinum ( Pavia ), Aripert II defeated King Liutpert's army under Ansprand, Ato, Tatzo, Rotharit and Farao and took Liutpert prisoner. He had Liutpert assassinated as a potential rival to the throne in 703.
