in Benevento.

Regency

When Arechis died on 26 August 787, Adelperga acted as regent, because Charlemagne hesitated to release Adelperga's son Grimoald, whom he kept as a hostage. Grimoald was released and acceded as duke in February 787. He arrived in Benevento in 788, thus discontinuing Adalperga's regency.

Grimoald swore fealty to Charlemagne and defeated a Byzantine invasion commanded by Adelchis. After this, Adelperga is not again mentioned.
