Marbod

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Marbod or Maroboduus (died in A.D. 37), was king of the Marcomanni. Marbod organized a confederation of several Germanic tribes in about 9 B.C to deal with the threat of Roman expansion into the Rhine-Danube basin. The Marcomanni founded a kingdom in Bohemia, and formed a confederation with neighboring Germanic tribes in what are now Silesia and Saxony.
