Wacho (alsoWaccho; probably fromWaldchis^{[citation needed]}) wasking of theLombards before they enteredItaly from an unknown date (perhaps c. 510) until his death in 539. His father was Unichis. Wacho usurped the throne by assassinating (or having assassinated) his uncle, KingTato (again, probably around 510). Tato's son Ildchis fought with him and fled to theGepids where he died.^[1] Wacho had good relations with theFranks.

Wacho married three times. His first marriage was toRaicunda, daughter ofBisinus, King of the Thuringi. His second marriage was to Austrigusa, a Gepid possibly named after her maternal descent fromOstrogothic rulers. Austrigusa was the mother of two daughters:Wisigarda (who marriedTheudebert I of Austrasia) andWaldrada (who married firstlyTheudebald of Austrasia, secondlyChlothar I,King of the Franks, and thirdlyGaribald I of Bavaria). Wacho's third marriage was to Silinga, aHeruli, mother ofWaltari. According to some historians (Josef Poulík), he was buried onŽuráň hill, however, modern historians are not certain about it.
