The Rugii, Heruli, Sciri and others are believed to have moved into this region from distant homelands under pressure from the <a href="/wiki/Huns" title="Huns">Huns</a>, and become part of Attila's Hunnic empire which also moved and came to be based in this region. The Rugii were subsequently part of the alliance which defeated Attila's sons and the <a href="/wiki/Ostrogoths" title="Ostrogoths">Ostrogoths</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Nedao" title="Battle of Nedao">Battle of Nedao</a> in 454, giving their kingdom independence. In 469 they were part of a similar alliance who lost to the Ostrogoths at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Bolia" title="Battle of Bolia">Battle of Bolia</a>, weakening their kingdom significantly. </p><p>Many Rugii, once again along with Sciri, Heruli and other Danubians, joined <a href="/wiki/Odoacer" title="Odoacer">Odoacer</a> in Italy and became part of his kingdom there. Fearing new plots against him, he nevertheless invaded the Rugian kingdom in 487, and the Rugian lands were then settled by the <a href="/wiki/Lombards" title="Lombards">Lombards</a> from the north. Most Rugii still in the Danubian region eventually joined the Ostrogoth <a href="/wiki/Theoderic_the_Great" class="mw-redirect" title="Theoderic the Great">Theoderic the Great</a> who killed Odoacer and replaced him with a Gothic-led regime in Italy.
