- Radegast I (Radagast, died 664) is the legendary last king of the Vandal tribe and founder of the grand ducal dynasty, which ruled the Union of Obodrites for several hundred years, mentioned in later genealogy.
Biography[edit | edit code]
E. Shedia identified Radegast I with the Gerul king Radagais, who invaded Italy in 405 during the time of Emperor Honorius with a huge army. Radagais was married to Zelle. According to this hypothesis, Radegastus I is a distant descendant (10 generations) of Vandal king Alimer (? - 96 BC), married to a woman named Ida from the island of Rügen.
C. Buchholz believed that Radegast I (King of the Obodrites) in the Vandal chronicle was called Radegast II, and Radegast I was his distant ancestor who died in 405. In this case, the origin of Radegastov II was as follows:
• Radegast I, died in 405
o Croc (Krusco), died in 409 or 411
Fredebald, died in 449 or 470
Wisław II, died in 486
unknown descendants of Wisław II (sometimes called names: Alaric, Alberich, Johann)
Radegast II, died in 664
The name Radagast was given to the West Slavic deity.
He married a Princess of Granada, Spain.
