In May 591, Authari's successor, Agilulf, sent Agnellus, Bishop of Trent, to the Frankish court of Brunhilda to secure the ransom of several Tridentine prisoners captured in the previous war, which he did.
In the beginning they included geographically only the inland areas, leaving the Byzantines control of the coastal areas; only later (particularly at the reign of Agilulf 591-616) Lombard possessions were extended also to the coasts.
Secundus of Non or Trent was an adviser at the court of the Lombard king Agilulf (590–616 CE).

When Authari died in Pavia in 590, possibly by poison, he was succeeded as king by Agilulf, duke of Turin, on the advice, sought by the dukes, of Theodelinda, who married the new king.
