ADALOALD, King of the Lombards. - Son of Agilulf and Theodelinda, born in 602 and baptized at Easter in 603. The following year he was proclaimed by his own father, at Milan, heir to the Lombard throne. He indeed succeeded Agilulf in 615 or 616 and governed under the regency of his mother, giving his policy a direction favorable to the Church. In 625 a revolt of Lombard dukes forced him to flee to Ravenna.
