Widin was the last attested Ostrogothic noble in Italy. After Teia's defeat at the hands of the Byzantine eunuch general Narses at the Battle of Mons Lactarius, south of present-day Naples, in October 552 or early 553, organized Ostrogothic resistance ended. Widin, however, was able to organize a Gothic revolt in northern Italy in 561.[1] According to Paul the Deacon, Widin comes Gothorum and Amingus, a Frank, rebelled against Narses.[2]
Widin was captured in 562 and sent to Constantinople.[1] After that, the Ostrogoths faded in obscurity.
