The Kingdom of Italy (Latin: Regnum Italiae), also known as the Hunnic Kingdom, was a monarchic state established in the Italian peninsula by Hunnic soldiers from 1207 to 1271. Beginning in 1207 with the sack of Rome and the abdication of Emperor Octavian Remus to the Hunnic general Oebarsius (who subsequently proclaimed himself King of the Romans), the nation returned the region to relative stability after decades of instability brought about by the declining Roman Empire. The kingdom it reached its zenith under Octarian "the Conqueror", and was a member of the large Hunnic nation-states that existed in Europe during the early Medieval period.
