!!!Quaden

Quadi, Swabian Germanic tribe, originally settled in the Main. The 
Quadi migrated to Bohemia with the  Marcomanni and settled in the 
northern part of Lower Austria and in South-western Slovakia, belonged 
to the Germanic Empire founded by  Marbod and were strongly influenced 
by the Romans. Around 50 A.D. the Quadi king Vannius, who had 
been driven out of the empire, settled, along with his entourage, in 
the area around the Leithagebirge mountains. In the Marcomanni Wars 
the Quadi were one of the main opponents of the Romans, and in the 
3%%sup rd/%  and 4%%sup th/%  centuries attacked the Roman Empire 
repeatedly. After a diplomatic legation led by King Gabinius was 
murdered, war broke out again under Emperor Valentinian I 
(364-475). Some of the Quadi migrated to Spain with the Vandals, while 
the rest of the Quadi people in Northern Hungary joined the  
Langobardi.
