Alboin , d. 572?, first Lombard king in Italy (569-572?). With the Avars he defeated the Gepidae (see Germans ). He then led (568) an army across the Alps into Italy, took (569) Milan, and after a three-year siege conquered Pavia, which became his capital. He won most of N and central Italy from the Byzantines (see Lombards ). According to a legend probably based on fact, he was murdered at the instigation of his wife, Rosamond .
