The castle of Spoleto is very ancient, its earliest portions dating from the Dukes Faroald and Grimoald.
Alboin had been murdered, and Kleph had succeeded him, on whose death, in 575, the Lombards fell into anarchy, and were divided into thirty-six dukes, and Faroald, the first duke of Spoleto, held Rome besieged when Benedict I. died, in 578; and so his successor, Pelagius II., a Roman of Gothic descent, was consecrated without the emperor's confirmation.
In the year 579 Faroald, duke of Spoleto, fell upon Classis, and took it and spoiled it. This, however, was but an isolated effort, and though the Lombards held Classis, they achieved little else in Italy till after Authari was chosen king in 584.
