The Veleti lang de Wieleten lang pl Wieleci or Wilzi ans also Wiltzes German Wilzen were a group of medieval Lechites tribes within the territory of modern northeastern Germany see Polabian Slavs . In common with other Slavic groups between the Elbe and Oder Rivers, they were often described by Germanic sources as Wends . In the late 10th century, they were continued by the Lutici .

The Bavarian Geographer s anonymous medieval document compiled in Regensburg in 830 contains a list of the tribes in Central Eastern Europe on east of the Elbe. Among other tribes it also lists the Uuilci Veleti , featuring 95 civitas . This political splitting of the Veleti probably occurred due to the size of the inhabited area, with settlements grouped around rivers and forts and separated by large strips of woodlands. Also, the Veletian king Dragowit had been defeated and made a vassal by Charlemagne in the only expedition into Slavic territory led by Charlemagne himself, in 798, making the central Veletian rule collapse. The Veleti were invaded by the Franks during their continuous expeditions into Obodrite lands, with the Obodrites being allies of the Franks against the Saxons . Einhard made these claims in Vita Karoli Magni Life of Charles the Great , a biography of Charlemagne , King of the Franks . After the 10th century, the Veleti disappeared from written records, and were replaced by the Lutici who at least in part continued the Veleti tradition.

Charlemagne, however, had been forewarned of the revolt by Pope Adrian I Pope Hadrian I , who himself had been warned in a letter by John, Patriarch of Grado . Hadrian believed that a conspiracy of Lombards and Byzantine Empire Byzantines , led by Arechis II of Benevento , Hildeprand of Spoleto , and Raginald of Clusium , was brewing against the Franks . Thus, Charles quickly crossed the Alps and defeated him, retaking Friuli and Treviso , where he spent Easter , removing Hrodgaud from power and replacing him with Marcarius of Friuli Marcarius .

Aeblus , Ebalus , or Ebles was a Franks Frankish count in Gascony early in the ninth century. With Aznar S nchez , he led a large expedition across the Pyrenees to re establish control over Navarre . After accomplishing their goals and entering Pamplona with no resistance, they were defeated on the way back at the so called Second Battle of Roncesvalles .
