| - Around 548 the kings of the Franks placed the border region of Bavaria under the administration of a duke -- possibly Frankish or possibly chosen from amongst the local leading families -- who was supposed to act as a regional governor for the Frankish king. The first duke we know of, and likely the first, was Gariwald, or Garibald I, a member of the powerful Agilolfing family. This was the beginning of a series of Agilolfing dukes that was to last until 788.
* Hugbert, son of Theudbert, Duke 725-737
* Odilo, 737-748
* Grifo, 748 (usurper)
* Tassilo III, 748-788

* Garibald I, ca. 548-591
* Tassilo I, ca. 591-610, was named rex (king) at his ascension
* Garibald II, ca. 610-630 Rulers unknown, ca. 630-680 By the time of Duke Theodo I, who died in 716 or 717, the Bavarian duchy had achieved complete independence from the Frankish kings. Theodo's sons divided the duchy, but by 719 the rule had returned to Duke Grimoald.
* Theodo, ca. 680-716
* Theudbert, son of Theodo, Duke in Salzburg ca. 702-719
* Theobald, son of Theodo, Duke of parts of Bavaria ca. 711-719
* Tassilo II, son of Theodo, Duke in Passau ca. 716-719
* Grimoald, son of Theodo, Duke in Freising ca. 716-725, later ruling all of Bavaria Charles Martel, ruler in fact though not in name of the Frankish realm, reasserted royal supremacy over Bavaria, defeating and killing Duke Grimwald and annexing portions of Bavaria during the rule of Hugbert.
* Hugbert, son of Theudbert, Duke 725-737
* Odilo, 737-748
* Grifo, 748 (usurper)
* Tassilo III, 748-788 Tassilo III recognized the suzerainty of the Frankish kings Pippin III in 757 and did homage to Charlemagne in 781, and again in 787, while pursued an independent policy. In 788, Charlemagne had Tassilo sentenced to death on a charge of treason. Tassilo, granted pardon, entered a monastery and formally renounced his duchy at Frankfurt in 794.
