Duke of Benevento
565 CE to 641 CE
Arechis I (also Arigis, Aretchis, Italian: Arechi) is the second duke of Benevento from 591 to his death in 641, a reign of half a century.
He is from Friuli and is a relative of the dukes there, maybe a nephew of Zotto, his predecessor.
He is appointed by King Agilulf in the spring of 591, after Zotto's death.
He is practically independent because his duchy is separated from northern Italy by a stretch of Byzantine territory.
