The Longobards: Genetic Study Sheds Light on Mysterious Barbarians Who Ruled Italy after Fall of Rome
The Longobards—also known as the Lombards or "longbeards"—were a polyethnic confederation of barbarians that created a kingdom in the area of modern Austria and western Hungary in the sixth century, according to Veeramah. From there, they conquered most of Italy in the later sixth century led by their ruler King Albion.
Veeramah and colleagues used advanced DNA techniques to sequence all the genomes of 63 individuals from two ancient cemeteries in Szólád, Hungary, and Collegno, Italy, that were previously associated with the Longobards.
