List of queens of the Lombards

The Queen consorts of the Lombards were the wives of the Lombardic kings who ruled that Germanic people from early in the sixth century until the Lombardic identity became lost in the ninth and tenth centuries. After 568, the Lombard kings sometimes styled themselves Kings of Italy (rex totius Italiae), making their wives Queen consorts of Italy. After 774, they were not Lombards, but Franks. There was never a female Lombardic monarch due to the Salic law. After Queen Rosamund all the Lombard queens were also Queens of Italy.

The Iron Crown of Lombardy (Corona Ferrea), that was used for the coronation of the Lombard kings and the kings of Italy thereafter for centuries, was the discovery of Theodelinda, a Lombard queen.
