Buri tribe

The Buri were a Germanic tribe in the time of the Roman Empire who lived in mountainous and forested lands north of the Danube, in an area near what is now the west of modern Slovakia.

The Buri are mentioned in the Germania of Tacitus, where he describes them as being just beyond Marcomanni and Quadi, who lived on the northern bank of the Danube.

Ptolemy, however, mentions the Lugi Buri dwelling in what is today southern Poland between the Elbe, the modern Sudetes, and the upper Vistula.

A contingent of the Buri accompanied the Suebi in their invasion of the Iberian Peninsula and established themselves in modern northern Portugal in the 5th century.

[1] They settled in the region between the rivers Cávado and Homem, in the area known as Terras de Bouro (Lands of the Buri).
