thumbnail|400px|Europe in the late 5th century. Gibuld (fl. 470) was the last known king of the Alamanni before the defeat of the Alamanni at the battle of Tolbiac in 496.
== Attestations == Gibuld is known from two hagiographic sources, the contemporary (470s) Vita Severini by Eugippius, where his name is Latinized as Gibuldus, and the later Vita Lupi where it is rendered Gebavultus. The independence of the two accounts has been debated in scholarship. It is clear that the Vita Lupi preserves the older form of the name (which is interpreted as it were from Common Germanic '' "gift-splendour"), which would mean that if the passage in the Vita Lupi depends on the Vita Severini, it would have to be based on an early version of that text, now lost.
