http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WachoWacho or
Waccho was king of the
Lombards before they entered
Italy from an unknown date until his death in 539. His father was
Unichis. Wacho usurped the throne by assassinating his uncle, King
Tato . Tato's son Ildchis fought with him and fled to the Gepids where he died.
[1] Wacho had good relations with the
Franks.
Wacho married three times. His first marriage was to Radigunde, daughter of
Bisinus, King of the Thuringi. His second marriage was to Austrigusa, a Gepid possibly named after her maternal descent from Ostrogothic rulers. Austrigusa was the mother of two daughters: Wisigarda and
Waldrada . Wacho's third marriage was to Silinga, a Heruli-mother of Waltari.
