https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisulf_I_of_Friuli
Gisulf I (Latin: Gisulfus I) was probably the first duke of Friuli (then Forum Julii). He 
was a nephew of Alboin, first king of the Lombards in Italy, who appointed him duke 
around 569 after the Lombard conquest of the region, though some scholars believe 
he appointed his brother Grasulf I, Gisulf's father.

Before this, Gisulf had been Alboin's marpahis or "master of the horse", sometimes 
considered a shield-bearer. He was, according to Paul the Deacon, "a man suitable in 
every way." He asked Alboin for permission to choose which faras or clans he would 
lead or rule over in Friuli, and this request was granted. He thus chose which families 
would settle permanently in Friuli, and he "acquired the honour of a leader 
(ducior)."[1] As well, Alboin granted him a great herd of mares, perhaps in recognition 
of his former service.

He reigned during the Rule of the Dukes from 575 to 585. He was succeeded by his 
son, Gisulf II.
