739 CE
Pemmo had come to the duchy of Friuli at a time when a recent civil war had ravaged the land.
Pemmo has raised all the children of the many nobles killed in the war in his own household next to his own sons.
He has also waged three wars with the Slavs of Carinthia, defeating them so utterly the third time hat they had entered into a peace treaty.
Pemmo had also quarreled with Callistus, Patriarch of Aquileia, who had been at odds with the bishop of Cividale and had removed him.
Pemmo, in response, had arrested the patriarch.
For this, King Liutprand had descended on Friuli and appointed Ratchis, Pemmo's son, in his place.
Pemmo had fled with his followers, but his son secured his pardon.
Pemmo dies in 739, leaving two other sons by Ratperga: Ratchait and Aistulf, who becomes king.
