The fusion with their lineage has also produced good things over time, but there is no doubt that in that historical context they were a terrible disgrace. The Ostrogoths had a sort of balance between the cultures, certainly more inclined to generate a nation, Theodoric had been raised in the best that the civilization of the time had to offer. The Langobards on the other hand were probably the least assimilable of all the possible invaders. Unnecessarily violent and stubbornly reluctant to coexist and adapt despite the passage of time. Not to mention the Eastern Roman Empire, that has constantly prolonged the agony when it was too late.

After the fall of Lombardy, many aristocratic Lombard families would flee to the southern part of Italy to the Duchy of Benevento which was never subdued by the Carolinigian Frankish Empire. There they would also found a number of other principalities such as Napoli and Salerno, which would serve as Lombard strongholds for another 300 years untill being at last permanently conquered by the Normans.

The Map is WRONG. The Western portion of the Emilia-Romagna was settled by the Lombards as early as 568, only the Eastern portion of Emilia-Romagna was never settled by the Lombards, this is why it's called Romagna (Land of the Romans, as opposed to Emilia: land of the Lombards.

Great video. However I must say that the map contains clear (rather irking) errors, notably by including the region of Emilia (the upper half of modern Emilia-Romagna) in the Byzantine Empire, what is very much incorrect for all the period.

Bros, this is not a video, it is a podcast at best. Tedious and nothing much more than an incomprehensible stream of words with no connection to the picture and nothing else to distinguish the racing monotone voice from one moment to the next.

I think the better question is how could they have continued?
They were a fairly small ruling elite competing with the Holy Roman Empire, Normans, Byzantines, prominent Latin forces, and the Saracens.

In the seventh century, The Byzantines were NOT 'Catholics' but Nicenes. Western Latin Christians would become known as Catholics only after the Schism separated Greek Orthodoxy from the Latin West.

Roman Empire or Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantine Empire is a artificial construct wich every historian is distancing itself nowadays (and with good reason as it creates more confusion than it clears.

man you are using old sources. In the last 15 years with recent archological and document discoveries, the perspective on longbards drastically changed. I hope nobody paid for such old and wrong info.

There is a very serious mistake. you are confusing the Lombards with the Langobards (even if there is a genetic link between the two peoples. The Lombards are the modern inhabitants of Lombardy.

Did the Byzantinian empire speak Latin or Greek. since the Easter romans were mostly Greeks. If Latin. How did the Greek language survived or does Greek evolved later in from Latin

Seems like you've used the head of Swedish king St Eric from the Stockholm coat of arms to depict king Perctarit.
