Was the kingdom of the Lombards, a Germanic people, during the Migration Period (also known as the Barbarian Invasions). The Lombards had initially established themselves in Noricum, modern-day eastern Austria, but left the region to settle in Italy, controlled by the Byzantine at the time. The Lombards quickly conquered most of Italy, with the exception of Latium and the Exarchate of Ravenna. The Kingdom was conquered by the Frankish Empire in 774. The Lombard domains in southern Italy were autonomous and lasted longer, being conquered by the Normans in the XI and XII centuries.
