Quadi
Germanic tribe who lived north of modern-day Vienna / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quadi were a Germanic[1] people who lived approximately in the area of modern Moravia in the time of the Roman Empire. The only surviving contemporary reports about the Germanic tribe are those of the Romans, whose empire had its border on the River Danube just to the south of the Quadi. They associated the Quadi with their neighbours the Marcomanni, and described both groups as having entered the region after the Celtic Boii had left it deserted.[citation needed] The Quadi may later have contributed to the "Suebian" group who crossed the Rhine with the Vandals and Alans in 406, and later founded a kingdom in northwestern Iberia.
