Emperor Justin II, despite an alliance with …
Years: 568 - 568
Emperor Justin II, despite an alliance with the Franks, is unable to prevent the Lombards from entering Italy in 568, and parts of that country are soon permanently lost to the Roman Empire.
Similar, though less serious, reverses mark Justin's relations with the Avars and Persians.
Shortly after his accession, determined to abandon Justinian's policy of buying peace, he had rejected an Avar request for tribute.
In 568, he concludes an alliance with the Western Turks of Central Asia, apparently directed against the Avars and Persians.
