Tato
EMMANUEL TATO (died 510) an early 6th century and was a king of the Lombards. He was the son of Claffo and a king of the Lething Dynasty. Lething dynasty has a secret tradition passed from one generation to another and that is the passing of the silver LEOPARD DESIGNED RING with black spots on it (with diamonds or white crystals around the leopard's neck)from one generation to another within the royal family's descendants. The descendants of King Tato were scattered around the world in countries such as Borneo, Philippines, Brunie, Italy and in places in Europe. Tato is a family name which just originated from the Lombards. The writing of history too was only rarely practiced in this period so not all about this royal family was written. Check the links below for Queen Elizabeth II ancestral information to see King Emmanuel Tato's next decendants but others are yet to be searched: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestry_of_Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Harry_of_Wales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_William_of_Wales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_charles
Some decendants were spotted in Asia already specifically in the Philippines and are being searched by modern historians.
A royal family typically includes the spouse of the reigning monarch, any or all surviving spouses of a deceased monarch, the children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and cousins of the reigning monarch, as well as their spouses. In some cases, royal family membership may extend to great grandchildren and more distant descendants of a monarch. In certain monarchies where voluntary abdication is the norm, such as the Netherlands, a royal family may also include one or more former monarchs. There is a distinction between persons of the blood royal and those that marry into the royal family. Only persons in the former category are dynasts, that is, potential successors to the throne.
According to Procopius the Lombards were subject to the Heruli at this time and paid tribute. In 508 he fought with king Rodolph of the Heruli who was slain. It was a devastating blow to the Heruli and augmented the power of the Lombards. Paul the Deacon gives an interesting story that the war was caused by Tato's daughter Rumetrada murdering Rodolph's brother.
Tato was murdered by his nephew Wacho (in 510). Wacho or Waccho (probably Waldchis) was king of the Lombards before they entered Italy from an unknown date (perhaps circa 510) until his death in 539. His father was Unichis. Wacho usurped the throne by assassinating (or having assassinated) his uncle, King Tato (again, probably around 510). Tato's son Ildchis fought with him and fled to the Gepids where he died.[1] Wacho had good relations with the Franks.
Wacho married three times. His first marriage was to Radegund, daughter of Bisinus, King of the Thuringi. His second marriage was to Austrigusa, a Gepid possibly named after her maternal descent from Ostrogothic rulers. Austrigusa was the mother of two daughters: Wisigarda (who married Theudebert I of Austrasia) and Waldrada (who married firstly Theudebald of Austrasia, secondly Chlothar I, King of the Franks, and thirdly Garibald I of Bavaria). Wacho's third marriage was to Silinga, a Heruli-mother of Waltari. According to some historians (Josef Poulík), he was buried on hill Žuráň, however, modern historians are not certain about it.
A modern descendant is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth is then one of the modern descendants of King Emmanuel Tato.
