Godescalc (died 743) was the duke of Benevento from 740 to his assassination. Godescalc's accession was without approval of the king. With the contemporaneous return of Thrasimund II to power in Spoleto, the wrath of Liutprand, King of the Lombards, was brought down upon central and southern Italy. After taking care of Thrasimund, Liutprand turned to Benevento, where Godescalc was preparing to flee.

After taking care of Thrasimund, Liutprand turned to Benevento, where Godescalc was preparing to flee.

  • L'ascesa di Godescalco avvenne senza l'approvazione reale.
  • Годшалк, герцог Беневентський. Його призначення герцогом не було схвалено королем лангобардів Лютпрандом. Гнівний Лютпранд спочатку позбавив влади герцога Сполетського Тразімунда II, який лише повернув собі владу, а потім прибув до Беневенто, тоді як Годшалк мав намір залишити герцогство на кораблі. Однак, Годшалк був убитий, його дружина Анна та діти утекли до Греції.
