Unknown Gepid King

Austrigusa was a Gepid princess, but her father is unknown. The power struggles among the leading Gepid families make it difficult to speculate about her father. She might have been a daughter of Elemund, who ruled the Gepids 535-548. Alternatively, she might have been a sister (or perhaps daughter) of Thurisind, who overthrew Elemund's son and ruled 548-circa 560.
