Marcomannic monarchs

Maroboduus (d. AD 37), also known as Marbod, was a king of the Marcomanni, who were a Germanic Suebian people. He spent part of his youth in Rome, and returning, found his people under pressure from invasions by the Roman Empire between the Rhine and Elbe. He led them into the forests of Bohemia, near to the Quadi who already lived nearby, and established a large alliance.

Catualda (flourished in 1st century AD) was a Marcomannic exile who deposed the Marcomannic king Maroboduus in 18 AD.

Queen Fritigil (, alternatively spelled Fritigils) ruled the Marcomanni, a Germanic tribe then settled in Pannonia (modern-day eastern Austria and western Hungary). As the last documented ruler of this people, she governed from what is believed to have been a royal seat in present-day Burgenland, Austria. Fritigil's historical significance stems from three key aspects: her correspondence with St. Ambrose of Milan, her conversion from Arian to Nicene Christianity, and her successful negotiation of a peace treaty with Rome - the final recorded agreement between the Marcomanni and the Empire.
