Rather than considering traditional political developments alone, the book weaves together discussion of the spatial aspects of Lombard settlement; their impact on urban and rural landscapes; their responses to religious praxis and belief, and through this, the creation of a revived identity in a new context, which was embodied in law--one of their most enduring legacies. The book restores the Lombards to a position of central importance in early medieval Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Heath ================= \u003cp\u003eChristopher Heath is a Visiting Fellow at the University of Lincoln.
