Editing Thuringii (section)

==Historiography==
The history of the Thuringii is best known from the writings concerning their conquerors, the Franks. [[Gregory of Tours]], a [[Gallo-Roman]], includes the nearest account in time of the fall of the Thuringian Empire. [[Widukind of Corvey]], writing in [[Duchy of Saxony|tenth-century Saxony]], inundates his similar account with various legends.

The Thuringii make brief appearances in contemporary Italian sources when their activities affect the land south of the [[Alps]]. [[Procopius]], the [[Eastern Roman]] author, mentions them and speaks of their fall. The seventh-century ''[[Origo Gentis Langobardorum]]'' mentions a king of the Thuringii, [[Fisud]], as a contemporary of [[Theudebert I]].
