!!!Fritigil, markomannische Königin

Fritigil, Queen of the Marcomanni tribe,. Corresponded with Bishop 
Ambrosius of Milan (b. April 4, 397) in order to bring about the 
Christianisation of her tribe. In return for his help she persuaded 
her husband to subject himself and his people to Roman rule. The  
Marcomanni, who were put under the command of an individual tribune, 
are also mentioned in the  Notitia Dignitatum. The Marcomanni probably 
settled in Pannonia I (province south of the Vienna woods, Burgenland 
and Western Hungary) shortly before 397.
