Garibald was the young son of
Grimoald I of Benevento, king of the
Lombards, and Theodota, daughter of
Aripert I. After his father's death in 671, he reigned briefly for three months until the numerous adherents of
Perctarit, his uncle, who had been exiled by Grimoald nine years earlier, beseeched their candidate to return and elected him, deposing the young king.
