Garibald was the young son of Grimoald I of Benevento, king of the Lombards, and Theodota, daughter of Aripert I. After his father's death in 671, he reigned briefly for three months until the numerous adherents of Perctarit, his uncle, who had been exiled by Grimoald nine years earlier, beseeched their candidate to return and elected him, deposing the young king. He was the last Arian king in Europe.
__NOTOC__ Garibald (also Gariwald, Garivald, Garioald, Gerbald, Gerwald, Charoald) is a Germanic masculine given name. It is the root of the names Gerald, Gerold, and their variants in other languages. Garibald was a popular name among the Lombards and Bavarii in the Early Middle Ages, but it is also existed as a personal name among Anglo-Saxons (e.g. West-Saxon "Garbeald"), attested in Searle's Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum. Its Lombardic forms are Garipald and Gairipald; in modern Italian it is Garibaldo or Garivaldo ( feminine Garibalda), and gives rise to the patronymic Garibaldi, and the adjective garibaldino ("Garibaldian", meaning daring, reckless, bold). Its roots are Proto-Germanic "gairaz", or "gaizaz" (in some West-Germanic dialects "gar" or "ger") ( lance, spear) and Proto-Germanic "balthaz" ( bold). Today the name is used mainly in Italy, to form an ideological connection with the Risorgimento led by Giuseppe Garibaldi.
