When we talk about Lombards in Italy, people should always know that true “Germanic” Lombards only made up about 5% of the entire population of Italy in early Medieval period. The rest 95% were actually ethnic local Italic-Romans but self-identified as “Lombards”. The pre-modern national identity was extremely fragile. When a Roman lost connection to the central Imperial government, his self-identification would be easily localised according to his local region or rulers. As the minority Germanic people ruled over a majority Roman population from the 5th to the 9th centuries, local Romans eventually lost their Romanness and self identified as Germanic people. “Germanic” Lombards also quickly adopted Roman titles, names, laws, traditions and assimilated into local population. By the 8th century, Lombards were completely Romanised as their ancestral Germanic language, dress and hairstyles had all disappeared. Therefore, modern Italians who live in Lombardy or have a “Lombardi” surname does not automatically made them a “direct descendant of a Scandinavian Longobard”. Their ancestors either had a 95% chance of just being a local Italic-Roman who had an identity crisis or only carried a very insignificant portion of Germanic DNA.

After the fall of Lombardy, many aristocratic Lombard families would flee to the southern part of Italy to the Duchy of Benevento which was never subdued by the Carolinigian Frankish Empire. There they would also found a number of other principalities such as Napoli and Salerno, which would serve as Lombard strongholds for another 300 years untill being at last permanently conquered by the Normans.

The fusion with their lineage has also produced good things over time, but there is no doubt that in that historical context they were a terrible disgrace. The Ostrogoths had a sort of balance between the cultures, certainly more inclined to generate a nation, Theodoric had been raised in the best that the civilization of the time had to offer. The Langobards on the other hand were probably the least assimilable of all the possible invaders. Unnecessarily violent and stubbornly reluctant to coexist and adapt despite the passage of time. Not to mention the Eastern Roman Empire, that has constantly prolonged the agony when it was too late.

The early Lombards were ruthless psychopaths who slaughtered the Romans who had survived the Gothic wars, and Rome's population peaked at over 100k before refugees realized that they could not survive behind the restored walls of the damaged city. The Lombard conquests destroyed prospects of Italian recovery, and initially rolled back civilization by a millennium...

In the end they didn't make anything that remarcable: have a few good kings, have some power struggles, kick Byzantine ass and be conquered by someone else. It's just the usual

@LuisAldamiz

3 жыл бұрын

To some extent maybe. The fact that Italy (Northern Italy, including Tuscany) became a (not always duly attended) "protectorate" of Germany under the Holy Roman Empire (seeking partly the Papal sanction) is surely much more important. The city-state of Venice (and to some extent others such as Amalfi or even Genoa) owe more to Byzantine (also insecure) domination of the peninsula, while other city states such as Florence or Milan would only arise later in what we can call "proto-burgeois revolutions", leading to effective but fragmented independence of Italy in the Late Middle Ages (14th century especially). This fragmentation in turn was used by foreign powers to set foot in Italy (again), beginning by the Anjou dynasty (linked to France but autonomous), followed by Aragon, which would become part of the Habsburg Crown, i.e. "Spain" and "Austria", who would dominate Italy the following many centuries (with occasional French intervention). I'd add that the formation of the Papal State around Rome was decisive in keeping Italy divided. This was done in two or three phases: first by the Duchy of Rome becoming a Byzantine protectorate, then briefly a Lombard protectorate and finally a Frankish (Carolingian) one. Afterwards nobody dared to touch it (other than the occasional sacking) until the Garibaldines did. Current Vatican City was a creation of Mussolini.

Previously it was rather marginal and lacked the mineral riches of Iberia but it was much more central in terms of historical evolution through the geography, while Iberia was very peripheral and could not keep the pace because of its remoteness from everything else. It had opportunities under the Muslim rule but especially in the Early Modern Age, when the conquest of much of America provided Castile with almost endless resources, however Charles V squandered that all by putting Iberia at the service of his German ambitions, while his son Philip II did pretty much the same in the Low Countries. And thus Iberia, instead of developing like Britain, became a colony of Belgium and other European powers (Germany, France, England) to this very day. It's more than just trade, it's also not being the agrarian semi-colonial fool who sells the wool to Flanders so they make much more money by turning it to cloth. That's what the Italians avoided in the time of the republics and England achieved with Elizabeth I and her rejection to get all the Low Countries as poisoned dowry for a marriage with the Spanish Crown. Otherwise Britain would also probably be a barely developed place subservient to other powers.

Did the Byzantinian empire speak Latin or Greek .. since the Easter romans were mostly Greeks . If Latin .... How did the Greek language survived or does Greek evolved later in from Latin

Great! You cited Indro Montanelli, the best Italian journalist ever

I think that Agilulf or Luitprand were the ones who got closer to unify Italy.

What if the Lombards succeed in Italy and now they call Italy Lombardia so i can say I love watching Lombardian-American movies like the godfather

Lombardia is now the name of the region formerly called Duchy of Milan. Of the Germanic invaders only some gave names to countries that exist today: notably the Franks to France (but French is not Frankish, Dutch is) and the Angles to England (and the Rus or Varangians to Russia, I guess). Some gave names to smaller regions such as Burgundy (Burgundians), Lombardy (Lombards), Normandy (Normans), Gothia (now coastal Languedoc, aka Narbonense) and arguably Catalonia (Goth-al-unia??, with Arabic influence?) the Visigoths, possibly Andalusia (Vandalusia?) the Vandals, Wessex, Essex and Sussex (the Saxons) and that's pretty much it. Italy was a thing and a well defined one not needing renaming since the early Roman expansion of the 3rd century BCE. It was Rome which forged Italy as their expanded home nation and imperial metropolis (consolidated after the Social War, when all non-slave Italians became Roman citizens, unlike provincials, who were rather colonial subjects instead). Even Britain retains its ancient Roman (and pre-Roman) name, so, if you treat England as region instead of country, the only country to ever be named after the Germanic invaders in the former Roman Empire was France (formerly West Francia, East Francia is approximately Germany).
