Desiderius, King of the Lombards - Decision as to who we're showing as his father

The two options: Sévère di Lombardia & Unknown Profile

Tough decision. I think the better option would be to cut the parents and show the two alternatives, with links, in the overview.

Personally I would prefer Ermenulph, because Betham is later and would have been familiar with Anderson's work. But it's a stretch to call Betham "the most reliable authority". He lived right at the beginning of the transition from "collecting" to "scholarship". Without knowing Betham's source, I would put him in the same category as Anderson.

Martin RhNegativ,
Are you pointing out that both of their fathers have very similar names, & suggesting they might be the same person?

What do we know about Alachius de Lombardie & Unknown Profile?

for my mesage i wanted to let you see i think an error the two parents are a son...must be an error

if we look collateral tree it can help ..geneanet is a good source too Sharon :)

Yes, the two men are intended to be the same.

So, Sévère di Lombardia & Ermenulph are brothers?

Yes. Supposedly.
