"The Byzantine\u2013Lombard wars were a protracted series of conflicts which occurred from AD 568 to 751. The wars were fought between the Byzantine Empire, and a Germanic tribe known as the Lombards. The wars were fought primarily due to the imperialistic inclinations of the Lombard king, Alboin, as he sought to take possession of Northern Italy. The conflicts ended in a Byzantine defeat, as the Lombards were able to secure large parts of Northern Italy at first, eventually conquering the Exarchate of Ravenna in 751."@en . . .
