• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  Theodo II van Beieren (ca. 630 - na 700) was hertog van Beieren vanaf ongeveer 680.
  
  Theodo speelt een belangrijke rol in de opbouw van de Beierse staat. Hij kiest Regensburg als hoofdstad en begint de opbouw van een eigen Beierse kerk. Hij creëert bisdommen en stuurt zendelingen door geheel Beieren: de heiligen Rupert van Salzburg, Erhard, Emmeran en Corbinianus. In 702 biedt hij onderdak aan de Longobardische troonpretendent Ansprand en zijn zoon Liutprand. Daarna verdeelt hij het bestuur van Beieren onder zijn vier zonen: Theudebert (ook Theodo III van Beieren), Theudebald, Tassilo en Grimoald. Zelf kiest hij Salzburg als residentie.
  
  De naamgeving van de Beierse hertogen is zeer verwarrend:
  
  Er zijn drie legendarische hertogen met de naam Theodo, die in de zesde eeuw zouden hebben geregeerd.
  De vader van Theodo wordt in sommige bronnen ook Theodo genoemd. Daarmee wordt deze Theodo zowel als Theodo I, Theodo II, Theodo IV of Theodo V genummerd.
  Sommige bronnen zien deze Theodo en zijn zoon Theudebert (Theodo III) als dezelfde persoon.
  
  Volgens de legende was zijn dochter Uta zwanger van een onbekende minnaar en was zij bang voor de woede van haar vader en broers. Daarom bood de zendeling Emmeran aan om de schuld op zich te nemen, omdat hij toch naar Rome zou reizen. Toen Uta gedwongen werd om de naam van haar minnaar te noemen, noemde ze inderdaad de naam van Emmeran. Daarop achtervolgde Lantpert, een van haar broers, de zendeling en doodde hem.
  
  Theodo was getrouwd met Folchaid. Naast Theudebert, Theudebald, Tassilo, Grimoald, Lantpert en Uta, hadden ze vermoedelijk nog een onbekende dochter die trouwde met hertog Gotfried van de Allemannen.

  Theodo (about 625 – 11 December c. 716) also known as Theodo V and Theodo II, was the Duke of Bavaria from 670 or, more probably, 680 to his death.
  
  It is with Theodo that the well-sourced history of Bavaria begins. He strengthened Bavaria internally and externally and, according to Arbeo of Freising, he was a prince of great power whose fame extended beyond his borders.
  
  His father was Theodo IV, Duke of Bavaria and his mother was probably Fara of Bavaria (b: 600), daughter of one of the Kings of the Lombards and (her mother) Daughter of Gisulf of Friuli (b: 577).
  
  Theodo established his capital at Ratisbon (modern Regensburg). He married Folchaid, of the aristocracy of Alemannia, to build diplomatic ties there. He intervened in Lombard affairs by harbouring the refugees Ansprand and Liutprand, whom he assisted militarily on his return to claim the Iron Crown. Liutprand later married his daughter Guntrude. Theodo also defended his duchy ably from the Avars (with some failure in the east).
  
  Theodo is the patron to the four great missionaries of Bavaria: Saint Rupert, Saint Erhard, Saint Emmeram, and probably Saint Corbinian. He was the first to draw up plans for the Bavarian church, aiming both at a deeper cultivation of the countryside as well as greater independence from the Frankish Kingdom by a closer association with the Pope. He was the first Bavarian duke to travel to Rome, where he conferred with Pope Gregory II. The diocesan seats were placed in the few urban centres, which served as the Duke's seats: Regensburg, Salzburg, Freising and Passau.
  
  Two of his children are involved with the death of Saint Emmeram. Theodo's daughter Uta had become pregnant by her lover. Fearing her father's wrath, she confided to Emmeram and the saint promised to bear the blame, as he was about to travel to Rome. Soon after his departure, Uta's predicament became known and in keeping with the agreement she named Emmeram as the father. Her brother Lantpert went after Emmeram and greeted him as "bishop and brother-in-law," i.e., episcope et gener noster! Then he had Emmeram cut and torn into pieces. Theodo had the remains of the saint moved to Regensburg. Nothing more is known of Lantpert and Uta.
  Ordinals
  
  Some historians have distinguished between a Duke Theodo I, ruling around 680, and a Duke Theodo II, reigning in the early eight century. Theodo I is attributed with the events involving Saint Emmeram, Uta and Lantpert, while Theodo II is associated with Saints Corbinian and Rupert, the ecclesiastical organisation and the division of the Duchy. However, no contemporary source indicates a distinction between different Dukes of that name.
  
  To complicate matters even further, Bavarian tradition has referred to Theodo I and Theodo II as Theodo IV and Theodo V respectively to differentiate them from legendary Agilolfing ancestors Theodo I to III, all who would have reigned before 550.
  Marriage and issue
  
  He married Regintrude of Austrasia, daughter of Dagobert I and Nanthild. They had the following:
  
  Daughter of Theodo, married Godefroy, Duke of Alamannia
  
  He also married Folchiade of Salzeburg. They had the following:
  
  Theodbert
  Theobald
  Tassilo
  Grimoald
  Willigard[1][2]
  
  Theodo was eventually succeeded by his four other sons, among which he divided his duchy sometime before 715.
  
  As early as 702, Theodbert had been ruling from Salzburg and from 711 or 712, Theobald was co-reigning. It is impossible to see if this division was territorial (as with the Merovingians) or purely a co-regency (as with the later princes of Benevento and Capua). If so, Theodbert's capital was probably Salzburg and the Vita Corbiniani informs that Grimoald had his seat there. References to Theobald and the Thuringii implies perhaps a capital at Regensburg and this leaves Tassilo at Passau. All of this is educated conjecture.

• He died in the year 716, he was 86 years old.
• A child of Theodo I van Beieren and Glismonde der Merovingen
