Hunald II, also spelled Hunold, Hunoald, Hunuald or Chunoald (French: Hunaud), was the Duke of Aquitaine from 768 until 769.
It marched out in July towards the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, the latter forming the border between Aquitaine and Gascony.
Near the confluence of the rivers, Charlemagne constructed a fortress that became known as "that of the Franks", Franciacum (today Fronsac).
In terror, according to Einhard, Lupus captured Hunald and his wife and turned them over to Charles's representatives.
[9][5] In the campaign of 769, Charlemagne seems to have followed a policy of "overwhelming force" and avoided a major pitched battle.
