so this book tells me that the Longobards probably had kings before their descent into Italy since kings are those who “conferred people their cohesion and traditions”, the fact that they aren’t mentioned in the Origo Gentis Langobardorum is due to the fact that apparently they were not noteworthy enough to pass into memory. but then it says that they are “probably” named in the Anglo-Saxon poem Widsith
and nothing else. I’m going feral over this. please EXPAND your claim and tell me about these kings “probably” named in the poem, I’m BEGGING
