Samo's realm
Also known as Samo's Empire
Samo's realm was the first recorded union of Slavic tribes, led by Samo, described by the chronicler Fredegar as a Frankish merchant. He led the Slavs against the Avars and defeated the Frankish king Dagobert I at Wogastisburg in 631 or 632. The union seems to have broken up after his death.
