Quote:</em></strong><hr>Lombards --whose original name, Langobards, refers to their long beards<hr><br>
Somehow I really doubt that. Maybe it did once, when the tribe was still settled in northern Germany, but it certainly is not corroborated by images of them in contemporary art.<br>

Valerius/Robert (means 'red beard') <p></p><i></i>

[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus]

The statement of the long beards is from the article and not a statement of mine. The article comes from a university web site from the history department so probably has some inadequecies. I know those are not the best sources but the first one I can across when searching. <p></p><i></i>

Better you "quote" next time Gnaeus..<br>

That would have been wise. It was almost time to leave work, so was in a hurry to get it in, but thanks for the advise. <p>THERE ARE NO STUPID PEOPLE, ONLY PEOPLE STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'VE MADE A MISTAKE</p><i></i>
