What happened 584 AD

In 584 the dukes agreed to crown King Cleph's son, Authari and delivered to the new monarch half of their property (and then probably getting even with a new crackdown against the surviving Roman property land).

Authari was king of the Lombards from 584 to his death. He was considered as the first Lombard king to have adopted some level of "Roman-ness" and introduced policies that led to drastic changes particularly in the treatment of the Romans and Christianity.
