Uta de Bavaria
Uta de Bavaria (also Ita ; 7th century) was a Bavarian princess. She was the daughter of King Theodo I and his wife Gleisnod de Friuli .
She lived at the Bavarian ducal court of the Agilolfinger in Regensburg, where Bishop Emmeram of Regensburg also worked at that time . When the unmarried Uta was impregnated by a ducal official, she confided in Emmeram. He offered to take over the paternity for the time being to protect Uta and the officials from Duke Theodo I , Uta's father. The Holy Emmeram broke then on a pilgrimage to Rome, but Lantpert , Uta's brother, caught up with the bishop and let him torture and murder. Uta was captured by her father and exiled to Italy, where she presumably married the Lombard duke Grimoald , with whom she had three children: the son Romuald I , the daughter Gisa († around 672 in Sicily) and a daughter who was not known by name, who married in 663 Transamund I of Spoleto.
