Gosbert, or
Gottbert) was king of the
Lombards (crowned 661), eldest son and successor of
Aripert I. He was an
Arian who governed from the ancient capital,
Pavia, while his brother,
Perctarit, a
Roman Catholic, governed from
Milan. In a war with his brother - begun with the year - he beckoned Duke
Grimoald I of Benevento, who assassinated him in his Pavian palace, the
Reggia. His son
Raginpert managed to escape and would later rule. But first, Grimoald seized the throne.
