The PoD for this is really in the early 770s, as it requires Charlemagne to not interfere in Lombardy. That could be caused simply by him deciding to put more effort into fighting the Saxons or the Muslims in Spain, or perhaps his death/exile. This would cause Desiderius to be succeeded by Adalgis when he died, around 787 if the records can be trusted.

However, Adalgis has no known sons and has no listed marriages either. He would die not long after, it is thought 788.

Who would be a valid candidate for the Lombard throne?
