Brisigavi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Germanic tribe

TheBrisigavi orBrisgavi were aGermanic tribe dwelling in the southern region of theBlack Forest, in southGermany, during the 5th century AD.

Name

[edit]

They are mentioned asBrisigaui (seniores andiuniores) on theNotitia Dignitatum (5th c. AD).^[1]^[2]

The meaning of the name is obscure. It may be a hybrid, with a Celtic first element, of uncertain meaning (brisi(o)-), and a Germanic second element (-gawi), meaning 'region, land'. Ashwin E. Gohil has proposed to translate the name as 'place of the leftovers of pressed grapes’.^[2]

Today the southern region of the Black Forest is namedBreisgau.^[3]

Geography

[edit]

The Brisigavi lived in the southern part of theBlack Forest (Abnob(ai)a Ore). Their territory was located east ofLeuci, south of theAlamani, west of theVindelici, north of theRaurici.^[4]

History

[edit]

The Roman historianAmmianus Marcellinus wrote in 354 thatVadomarius was the chieftain of the Brisgavi, and that he was murdered in the year 368 by his own people, influenced by theRomans.
