Gundoald or Gundwald ( c. 565–616) was a Bavarian nobleman of the Agilolfing family, a son of Duke Garibald I and Waldrada , and Duke of Asti from sometime around 589.
In 588 his elder sister Theudelinda was engaged to the king of the Lombards , Authari . [1] The potential marital alliance with the Lombards sparked an invasion by the Bavarains' overlords, the Franks , in 589. Theudelinda and Gundoald both fled to Italy. There Theudelinda married Authari in May, and Gundoald was invested with the duchy of Asti and the hand of a granddaughter of King Wacho in marriage. With her he had two children, Gundpert and Aripert .
Gundoald was killed by an arrow in 616.
