The Lombards (Latin: Langobardī), also referred to as Langobards and Longobards, were an East Germanic tribe originally from Scandinavia who settled in the valley of the Danube and from there invaded Byzantine Italy in 568 under the leadership of Alboin. They established a Lombard Kingdom, later named Kingdom of Italy, which lasted until 774, when it was conquered by the Franks. Their influence on Italian political geography is apparent in the regional appellation Lombardy.
