Swabia
The Suebi, a Germanic people,
were situated around the Baltic Sea, east of the Elbe, during the beginning
of the Roman Empire (AD 98). Their name (Suevi - Suebi - Sweben) was probably
also appended to what became Sweden.
While the main host of the Suebi emigrated to Spain, the
Lombards and Alemanni, both
part of the Suebian confederation of tribes, remained behind. The area of Swabia was settled during the collapse of the Roman Empire by the Alemanni. |
