Ariold has reestablished Arianism in the Lombard kingdom.

His only recorded wars are against the Avars, whom he had succeeded in repelling during an attempted invasion of northeast Italy.

Rothari (formerly duke of Brescia), marries Ariold’s widowed queen Gundeberga in 636, and succeeds him as king of the Lombards.

At the beginning of his reign, he puts to death many insubordinate nobles.
