Ildibad
Ildibad (or
Heldebadus) (d.
541) was a king of the
Ostrogoths in
Italy, being chosen to replace
Witiges, who had been engaged in complicated schemes with
Belisarius and had left
Ravenna. Ildibald reigned for only about a year before being killed by a Gepid at a palace banquet, and was succeeded by his nephew
Totila.
Ildibad was actually a Visigoth, a nephew of one of the Visigothic kings in Spain.
