Suppo II of Spoleto

Suppo II of Spoleto

Suppo II (also Suppo III in the familial genealogy, Italian "Suppone"; died circa 879) was the Duke of Spoleto from 871 until his death. He was the "archiminister" (archminister) and "consiliarius" (counsellor) of the Emperor Louis II. Throughout Louis's reign he was the most powerful lay magnate in Italy.

He was a member of the Supponid family and was related to Louis's empress, Engelberga, and also to Suppo, count of Parma, Asti, and Turin, his cousin. After Louis's death, he supported Charles the Bald for the Italian throne and was with him in Italy in February 876. Nonetheless, he was deposed and Lambert I reinstated in that year.

Suppo's wife was a sister of Eberhard of Friuli but he had no known descendants.
