Abstract
The essay presents the monastic foundations of the Lombard era in the kingdom and in the duchies. In particular, three main issues are explored: the causes that led the Lombards to support monastic institutions and to create new ones; the legislation of King Liutprand regarding female monasticism and the theft of the relics of Saint Benedict by the monks of Fleury. Regarding this last aspect, the value of the testimony of Paul the Deacon and the story of the Historia Langobardorum regarding the documentary origins of the entire story is highlighted.
