Lambert of Italy, also known as Lambert II of Spoleto, was King of Italy from 891, co-ruling as emperor with his father from 892, and sole ruler from his father's death in 894 until his own death in 898. The son of Guy III of Spoleto and Ageltrude, he was crowned co-emperor by Pope Formosus in Ravenna in 892 and succeeded to the Duchy of Spoleto and Camerino as Lambert II upon his father's death. He was the last ruler to issue a capitulary in the Carolingian tradition.
