Authari ( 550 – 5 September 590) was king of the Lombards from 584 to his death. He was considered the first Lombard king to have adopted some level of Romanitas (Roman-ness) and introduced policies that led to drastic changes, particularly in the treatment of the Romans and greater tolerance for the Christian faith.

Sumeyah (; ) was the first member of the Ummah (community) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to be killed for her faith, making her the first female martyr () in Islam. Shortly afterward, her husband Yasir ibn Amir was also killed because of his conversion, becoming the first male martyr (). Her full name is given variously as Sumayya bint Khabbat or Sumayya bint Khayyat. She was the mother of Ammar ibn Yasir.
