Person
Thurisind
Thurisind was king of the Gepids from about 548 to about 560. His reign was dominated by war with the neighbouring Lombards under Audoin, in which Byzantium supported each side in turn; his son Turismod was killed by Audoin's son Alboin in battle around 551. He was succeeded by Cunimund, the last Gepid king.
