List of kings of the Lombards

The earliest kings (the pre-Lethings) listed in the Origo are almost certainly legendary.

The first ruler attested independently of Lombard tradition is Tato.

The last ruling descendant of Lethuc was Walthari, whose son was in turn displaced by Audoin of the family of the Gausi.

Charlemagne conquered the Lombards in 774 at the invitation of Pope Adrian I.

The title rex Langobardorum, synonymous with rex Italiae, lasted well into the High Middle Ages,[1] but subsequent holders are found at King of Italy.
