Notes - The Heruli were a Germanic people originally from Scandinavia. Theyraided towns in the Roman Empire, scoring their greatest success in AD267, when they captured Byzantium and sacked Greek cities [includingAthens]. Two years later, the eastern Heruli were crushingly defeated bythe Roman emperor Claudius II Gothicus in a battle near Naissus (modernNis, Yugos). From then until the mid-6th century, when they vanishedfrom history, their fortunes varied. They were subjugated first byErmanaric the Goth, then by Huns. Their kingdom on the middle Danube,founded in the late 5th century, fell to the Lombards early in the 6thcentury. [Encyclopaedia Britannica]
