History of the Lombards Paul the Deacon
History of the Lombards, by Paul the Deacon (c. 720-c. The book preserves many ancient myths and popular traditions and draws from sources that are now lost. 799), is among the most important and oldest accounts of the Germanic nation.
The popularity of Paul the Deacon's book has endured over the centuries and, although there have been numerous translations and editions, this remains the only one in English. The history traces the changing fortunes of the Lombards, the last of the migratory Germanic peoples to enter the western part of the old Roman Empire, from their first appearance in the West in the sixth century to the middle of the eighth century.
