Ansfrit 1 was a Lombard, from Castrum Reunia (i.e. Ragogna); he seized the ducatus of Forum Iulii while the dux Radoald 2 was absent ("Ansfrit de castro Reunia ducatum eius absque regis nutu pervasit"); he then rebelled against king Cunincpert 1 ("non contentus ducatum Foroiulanensium regere, insuper contra Cunincpertum rebellans, regnum eius invadere voluit"); he was captured at Verona and taken to Cunincpert 1, who had him blinded and sent into exile; the ducatus was then given to Ado 3: Paul.
