Notes about Wacchon "Wacho" of the Lombards

Name Prefix: King Name Suffix: Of Lombard

Waccho (d. c. 539), king of the Lombards in the period preceding the invasion of Italy, when they occupied territory roughly coinciding with Austria north of the Danube. Waccho assassinated his uncle Tato andusurped the throne c. 510, ruling for 30 years.
Tato's son and grandson took refuge with the king of a neighbouring people, the Gepidae, making several fruitless attempts to recover rule over the Lombards. Shortly after 536 Waccho made a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Justinian I against the Gepidae. In 539 the Ostrogoth king of Italy, Witigis, hard-pressed by Justinian's general Belisarius,sent ambassadors to Waccho, offering him money in exchange for military aid. Waccho refused, preferring to remain on good terms with Constantinople. Married successively to daughters of the kings of the Thuringians, of the Gepidae, and of the Heruli, Waccho was succeeded by a young son who died during the regency of the Lombard chief Audoin; this regent's son Alboin became the king who destroyed the Gepidae and invaded Italy.

Wacho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wacho or Waccho was king of the Lombards before they entered Italy from an unknown date (perhaps circa 510) until his death in 539. He usurped the throne by assassinating (or having assassinated) his uncle, King Tato (again, probably around 510). His cousins (sons and grandsons of Tato), who fled to the Gepids, tried to drive him out of power, but failed. Wacho had good relations with the Franks and Bavarians and married off his daughter, Waldrada, to a Bavarian prince. Their granddaughter was Theodelinda, later queen of the Lombards. He himself was married to a Gepid princess, Austricuse, called "Ostrogotha" (perhaps due to her maternal descent from Ostrogothic rulers).

But after these things Tato indeed did not long rejoice in the triumph of war, for Waccho, the son of his brother Zuchilo, [1] attacked him and deprived him of his life. Tato's son Hildechis also fought [2] against Waccho, but when Waccho prevailed and he was overcome, he fled to the Gepidae and remained there an exile up to the end of his life. For this reason the Gepidae from that time incurred enmities with the Langobards. At the same time Waccho fell upon the Suavi and subjected them to his authority. [3] If any one may think that this is a lie and not the truth of the matter, let him read over the prologue of the edict which King Rothari composed [4] of the laws of the Langobards and he will find this written in almost all the manuscripts as we have inserted it in this little history. And Waccho had three wives, that is, the first, Ranicunda, daughter of the king of the Turingi (Thuringians) ; then he married Austrigusa, the daughter of the king of the Gepidae, from whom he had two daughters; the name of one was Wisegarda, whom he bestowed in marriage upon Theudepert, king of the Franks, and the second was called Walderada, who was united with Cusupald, another king of the Franks, and he, having her in hatred [5] gave her over in marriage to one of his followers called Garipald. [6] And Waccho had for his third wife the daughter of the king of the Heroli, [7] by name Salinga. From her a son was born to him, whom he called Waltari, and who upon the death of Waccho reigned as the eighth [8] king over the Langobards. All these were Lithingi; for thus among them a certain noble stock was called.

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacho

Wacho was hoofdman (koning) van de Langobarden van 510 tot 540. Hij benoemde zichzelf tot koning, nadat hij zijn oom Tato in 510 had vermoord. Van Wacho is bekend dat hij door middel van huwelijken goede relaties opbouwde met andere Germaanse koninkrijken.

Wacho or Waccho (probably Waldchis) was king of the Lombards before they entered Italy from an unknown date (perhaps circa 510) until his death in 539. His father was Unichis. Wacho usurped the throne by assassinating (or having assassinated) his uncle, King Tato (again, probably around 510). Tato's son Ildchis fought with him and fled to the Gepids where he died. Wacho had good relations with the Franks.

Wacho married three times. His first marriage was to Radigunde, daughter of Bisinus, King of the Thuringi. His second marriage was to Austrigusa, a Gepid possibly named after her maternal descent from Ostrogothic rulers. Austrigusa was the mother of two daughters: Wisigarda (who married Theudebert I of Austrasia) and Waldrada (who married firstly Theudebald of Austrasia, secondly Chlothar I, King of the Franks, and thirdly Garibald I of Bavaria). Wacho's third marriage was to Silinga, a Heruli-mother of Waltari.
