Also known as Arnulph The Bad of Bavaria
Renewed Duke of Bavaria 907 to 937
Arnulph was the son of Count Margrave Luitpold of Bavaria and Cunigunda, daughter of Berthold I, the Count Palatine of Swabia and sister of Duke Erchanger I of Swabia. His brother was Berthold, the Duke of Bavaria from 938 to 948.
His father died in 907 at the Battle of Brezalauspurc, leaving the kingdom of Bavarian estates around Regensburg to Arnulph. His mother remarried King Conrad I of Germania in 913.
Arnulph's first task as Duke was to regather his armed forces after a heavy defeat at Pressburg against the Magyar Hungarians who were raiding continually, Arnulph had difficulties raising monies and supplies to fight them, and resorted to forcefully taking what he needed from surrounding churches, quickly earning him the nickname "The Bad." Eventually he managed a truce with the Hungarians who passed through Arnulph's lands quietly in 913 on their way to raid other German territories.
Arnulph was elected to oppose Henry "The Fowler" who was currently the most powerful Duke of Saxony, but Henry was victorious in their battles. Arnulph died at Regensburg in 937, buried at St. Emmeram's Abbey. His domains were passed on to his younger brother, Berthold.
The identification of his wife, Judith, remains a debate, but the most likely candidate would be Judith of Sulichgau (born ca. 888), daughter of Eberhard of Sulichgau. Arnulf's daughter Judith married Henry I of Bavaria, brother of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor.
