1. BONIFAZIO [II] (-after 838). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 5 Oct 823 which confirms the election of his sister "Richilda…abbatissa filia b. m. Bonifacio comiti natio Baivarorum" as abbess of the monastery of SS Benedetto e Scolastica at Lucca, signed by "Bonifacii comitis germanus supradicte abbatisse…"[855]. He succeeded his father as Count at Lucca. He was appointed Count of Corsica. He was "entrusted with the defence of Corsica", and raided Africa with a fleet in 828 against the Arabs[856]. Einhard's Annales record that "Bonifacius comes", who had been granted jurisdiction over Corsica, travelled around Sardinia with "fratre Berchario nec non et aliis quibusdam comitibus de Tuscia" to Africa and arrived at "Uticam atque Kartaginem" in 828[857]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Bonifacius comes", whom the emperor had installed as "Corsicæ præfectus", captured the island of Sardinia "cum fratre Berhardo" [in 828/30][858]. The Annales Bertiniani name "Ratholdus…episcopus, Bonifacius comes, Pippinus consanguineus imperatoris" as supporters of Emperor Louis I in 834[859]. He supported Emperor Louis I in 833, was dispossessed by the emperor's son Lothar, and retired to his lands in southern France[860]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Bonifatius comes et Donatus itidem comes et Adrebaldus Flaviniacensis monasterii abbas" as missi [in 838][861].

m ---. The name of Bonifazio's wife has not yet been identified. Bonifazio & his wife had two children:

Col titolo di conte B. compare per la prima volta il 5 ott. 823 come sottoscrittore di un atto della sorella Richilde....

...B. rimase in Germania alla corte di Ludovico, mentre a Lucca gli succedeva Aganone. Nell'838 fu inviato dall'imperatore in Settimania [FR] insieme con il conte Donato e l'abate Adrebaldo di Flavigny, per condurre un'inchiesta su Bernardo, duca di quella regione, accusato dai suoi sudditi presso Ludovico per diversi abusi. Il suo nome compare ancora nello stesso anno tra i presenti al falso placito di Aquisgrana in cui venne restituito al vescovo Aldrico di Le Mans il monastero di Amisola. Si ignora l'anno della sua morte.
