Biography
The main narrative source about Saling is The History of the Lombards by Paul Deacon [1] . The events of which she could be a party are also reported in the History of the Francs by Gregory of Tours and the treatise The Origin of the Lombard People [2] [3] [4] [5] .
Salinga was the daughter of the last Herul king of Rodulf . Between 507 and 512, her father died in a battle with the Lombards , according to some, led by King Tato , and according to others, King Wahoe [6] [7] [8] .
After the defeat of the Heruli, there is no evidence of the life of Salinga. The following news about her dates back to the 530s, when she became the wife of the ruler of the Langobard kingdom of Waho. It is likely that, like the two previous marriages of this monarch, it was a dynastic marriage. It is believed that by marrying Saling, King Wahoe intended to strengthen the Lombards with the Meruls, as well as with close relatives of his wife from among those living in the Kingdom of Gepids and Byzantium [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] .
Previously, Vaho was married first to the Thuringian Ranikund , and then to the gepidka Austriguz . The first of these marriages was childless. In the second marriage, two daughters were born, Vizigard and Vuldetrad . Salinga gave birth to a son Valtari from Wahoe, after the death of his father in about 540, who inherited the throne of the Kingdom of Langobard. Since the new monarch was still a child, the actual ruler of the Lombards was his guardian Audoin from the Gauza family [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [9] .
There is no information about the fate of Salinga after the death of King Waho in medieval sources [5] . Some modern historians have suggested that Salinga could be a woman whose grave was discovered in the town of near (near Brno ). As a result of studies of the surviving remains, it was found that a noble person buried here died at the age of about forty from a wound in the pelvic area , allegedly inflicted by anton [10] [11] [12] .
