 Rachis assigned the duchy to his brother Aistulf, who only held it for a few years, since in 749 he succeeded Rachis (who had been deposed by his dukes) as king of Italy.Information about the situation in the Duchy during the final years of the Lombard kingdom is scarse.It was ruled by the co-regents, Anselm and Peter (749-756) and the final duke that we know of was Hrodgaurd (774-776).
