Life

Dux Alahis of Tridentum ( Trento ) had acquired military merits with a victory against a Bavarian count. He rose to 679 against King Perctarit. Perctarit marched out with his army and besieged Alahis in Tridentum. Cunincpert managed to reconcile the two. In addition Perctarit said the rebels at the request Cunincperts also Dukat Brescia, although he distrusted Alahis. Several times saved Cunincpert the insurgent dux, wanted to execute the Perctarit, life

It was mainly in the area of the Duchy of Friuli in 688 or 689/690 to an uprising against Cunincpert, which was led by Alahis of Trent. The rebels, who included the brothers Aldo and Grauso from Brescia, were initially quite successful, so that they could occupy Pavia and Cunincpert had to flee to the lake Como. However Alahis rapidly lost support, not least because of his anti-Catholic politics - he was one of the last major spokesman of the Arians under the Lombards otherwise been largely gained for Catholicism. Aldo and Grauso began to distrust Alahis, ran to Cunincpert over and over gave him the city of Pavia. Cunincpert led his army against Alahis, who also collected troops in Friuli. Cunincpert Alahis called out to a duel, which he declined. Then ran some over from Alahis ' army to Cunincpert, others had the Alahis forced into his service, deserted. It came to the bloody battle of coronate at the Adda about 15 km southwest of Bergamo, fell in Alahis. The rebel army was slaughtered or drowned trying to escape. Later Cunincpert left on the battlefield, a St. George monastery dedicated to build.
