Liutperga

She was married to Tassilo at some point prior to 770, possibly in 763, to confirm the traditional alliance between Lombardy and Bavaria.

[1] This argument is based on both the supposed repudiation of his marriage to Liutperga's sister Desiderata and his subsequent destruction of the Kingdom of Lombardy and imprisonment of her parents.

The charter notes that a 'Bishop Arbeo' had angered Tassilo and Liutperga because of his close relations with the Franks and they had therefore removed churches from his possession.

[3] That same year, her brother, Adalgis, launched a failed attempt to reclaim the Lombard kingdom via southern Italy with Byzantine assistance and afterward was never mentioned again.

[6] The inscriptions at the bottom of the cup read '+ Tassilo Dux fortis + Liutpirc virga regalis'.
