About this person

Rodulf was king of the Heruli kingdom on the Middle Danube in the period around 491. Because of a war he began and lost against the Lombards somewhere in the period 493-511, the Heruli kingdom he had been ruling near Lower Austria ended, and he was killed. The Heruli had to leave the region, and their population divided, with many eventually moving into the Roman Empire near Singidunum (Belgrade). The near contemporary historian Procopius specified that this defeat happened in about 494, but many modern scholars propose that it must have happened later.
