Theobald I of Spoleto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theobald I (died 936) was the duke of Spoleto from 928 to his death. He was an unscrupulous prince, even for his age, and his career is one of constantly changing alliances as the political winds of central and southern Italy changed direction.
In 929, Theobald joined Landulf I of Benevento and Guaimar II of Salerno in a series of joint attacks against Byzantine Campania, Apulia, and Calabria. Theobald was detrimental to the others' cooperation and all three were unsuccessful and Guaimar returned to his earlier Greek allegiance.
Theobald also allied with Docibilis II of Gaeta against the Greeks.
