Gregory (died 739/740) was a nephew of
King Liutprand of the Lombards, who appointed him
Duke of Benevento in 733
[The ''Lexikon'' is riddled with errors in its account of this duke. It places his succession in 724, which is certainly false, and it gives his death as 741, which is more plausible.] or thereabouts after removing both the usurper
Audelais and the minor
Gisulf II. He governed the "people of the Samnites," as
Paul the Deacon calls the Beneventans, for seven years.
He was married to Giselperga.
