THE LOMBARD KINGS OF ITALY
legend: the Lombards (also called Langobards) (originally called the
Winnili tribe) migrated from Scandinavia to the European Continent
under the brothers Ibor (Ebbe) and Agjo (Agio), the two sons of
Gausus, who gave the Gungingi Dynasty its name. Agjo was the father of
Agila, aka
01. AEgelmund, "1st" King of Lombards. The name of his wife and queen
is recorded to have been Gambara. They were childless. Here enters the
story that a prostitute gave birth to a boy and threw him into a pond
to drown, when King AEgelmund and Queen Gambara happened to ride by
and rescued the boy and adopted the abandoned infant, whose name was
02. Lamicho (Lamissio), who succeeded his adoptive father as King of
the Lombards. His dynasty ended in an heiress, who married the Balthae
Prince Letho (Lethu), from whom his descendants were called the
Lethinge Dynasty. The Balthae Prince Letho may also be identified with
King Chlodio of France.

Celto-Romans
