Episode 29 — The Lombard Invasion
The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy in 568 was a pivotal event in Venetian history. The invasion and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.

The salient parts are reproduced below, excluding the many asides, geographical descriptions of other parts of Italy and what happened after Alboin moved on from Venetia.

The “Historia Langobardorum” by Paul the Deacon
The Historia Langobardorum — The History of the Lombards — by Paul the Deacon is the oldest chronicle relevant to the history of Venice. It probably dates to the 780s or 790s.
As the name implies, it is a chronicle of the Lombards — or Langobards — but as the Lombard invasion was a pivotal event in the history of early Venice, there are several chapters relevant to Venice.
The Historia Langobardorum was also an important source for many of the later Venetian chronicles and writings. It is, and it always was, an essential source for the study of early Venice.
