Theodebert, the son of the Agilolfing Theodo I, the Frankish duke of Bavaria, with Ansprand, Lombard duke of Asti, regent for the deposed King Liutprand, attack Lombard strongholds in the spring of 712.

Aripert flees to his capital when the tide goes against him, then gathers his hoarded treasure and attempts to cross over into Gaul by night.

He drowns in the Ticino River .

Ansprand, his faction back in power at Pavia, ascends the throne in March 712 and dies in June.

The reign of his only surviving son, Liutprand, had commenced one day before his father's death, when the magnates called to Ansprand's deathbed consented to make Liutprand his colleague.

At the opening of his reign, Liutprand's chief ally among his neighbors is Theodo, to whose intervention on Ansprand's behalf he owes his throne.
