In these matters our concern for the future assures us that what we do here is useful and so we have ordered the names of the Lombard kings, our predecessors, and from what family they came, to be noted down here insofar as we have ascertained them from the older men of the nation.

The second was Lamisio.
Leth was third.
Gildioch, son of Leth, was fourth.
Godioch, son of Gildioch, was fifth.
Sixth was Klaffo, son of Godioch.
Seventh was Tato, son of Klaffo. Tato and Winigis were sons of Klaffo.
Eighth was Wacho, son of Winigis, nephew of Tato.
Ninth was Walthari.
Tenth was Audoin, from the Gaugus family.
Eleventh was Alboin, son of Audoin, who, as mentioned above, led the nation into Italy.

| Summary |
The Lombard regnal list from the prologue to the Edictus Rothari presents the motivation for including the names of previous kings and their families, as concern for the future, outlines that the information was gathered from the knowledge of older men. The kings' list stretches back into the legendary past, presening Rothari as the seventeenth king of the Lombards. The earlier historical kings in the list are presented as a direct familial line. In addition to giving some familial relations, the historical event of Alboin leading the Lombards into Italy is also reiterated.
The final part of the kings' list from the prologue to the Edictus Rothari names Rothari's paternal ancestry for ten generations. |
