Corvulus of Friuli

Corvulus (also Corvolus) was the Duke of Friuli for a brief spell in the early eighth century AD (c. 705 or 706). Virtually nothing is known about his origin and life; he replaced Ferdulf, but he apparently offended King Aripert II and was arrested and had his eyes gouged out. He "lived ignominiously" in shame as an obscure, blind exile thereafter, according to Paul the Deacon. He was ultimately replaced by Pemmo.
