  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Theodelinde, koningin van de Longobarden, (ca. 570-628) was een dochter van hertog Garibald I van Beieren.

    Rond haar achttiende trad zij in 588 in het huwelijk met Authari, de koning van de Longobarden, de zoon van koning Cleph. Authari stierf reeds in 590. Het werd Theodelinde toegestaan om Agilulf in 591 als haar volgende echtgenoot en als opvolger van Authari te kiezen. Theodelinde oefende in de decennia daarna veel invloed uit om het Niceense christendom in Italië weer de overhand te laten krijgen ten opzichte van het rivaliserende Ariaanse christendom.

    Na de bekering van Agilulf tot het Katholieke geloof startte Theodelinde met de bouw van kerken in Lombardije en Toscane. Hieronder waren de kathedraal van Monza en het eerste baptisterium (doopkapel) in Florence. Deze gebouwen werden alle aan Johannes de Doper gewijd.

    De beroemde kerkschat van Monza bevat de IJzeren kroon van Lombardije en de theca persica, met daarin een tekst uit het Evangelie van Johannes, dat door Paus Gregorius I (590-604) aan haar werd gezonden voor haar zoon Adaloald. Een ander geschenk van deze paus aan de Lombardische koningin was een kruisvormig encolpion (reliekschrijn) met daarin een deel van het Ware Kruis.
    Kunsten

    De geschiedenis van de koningin en haar band met de beroemde IJzeren kroon van Lombardije zijn overgeleverd in de fresco's in de Theodelinde-kapel in de kathedraal van Monza, een werk van Ambrogio en Gregorio Zavattari (1444).

    Theodelinda, queen of the Lombards, (c. 570-628) was the daughter of duke Garibald I of Bavaria.

    She was married first in 588 to Authari, king of the Lombards, son of king Cleph. Authari died in 590. Theodelinda was allowed to pick Agilulf as her next husband and Authari's successor in 591. She thereafter exerted much influence in restoring Nicene Christianity (the mainstream, later split in 1054 by the East-West Schism in Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy) to a position of primacy in Italy against its rival, Arian Christianity.

    After the conversion of Agilulf to the Catholic faith, she started building churches in Lombardy and Tuscany, among them the cathedral of Monza and the first Baptistery of Florence. They were all dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.

    The famous treasure of Monza contains the Iron Crown of Lombardy and the theca persica, enclosing a text from the Gospel of John, sent by Pope Gregory I (590-604) to her for her son Adaloald. Another of the gifts of this pope to the Lombard queen was a cruciform encolpion (reliquary) containing a portion of the True Cross.

    The history of the queen and her connection with the famous Iron Crown of Lombardy are narrated in the frescoes painted in the Theodelinda Chapel in the Cathedral of Monza, work by Ambrogio and Gregorio Zavattari (1444).
