6th Century
| Year | Date | Event |
|---|---|---|
| 550 | The first wave of Slavic settlement, originating from Moravia, reaches the Eastern Alps region and the western margin of the Pannonian plain. | |
| 568 | Lombards leave the territories of modern Slovenia and the borderlands of Pannonia, moving into Italy. | |
| 585 | The second and most important wave of Slavic settlement takes place. Slavs and Avars settle in Eastern Alps (Julian Alps, Karavanke), eventually occupying an area more than twice the size of today's Slovenia. Slavic settlement is proven by the decline of dioceses in the Eastern Alpine region in second half of the 6th century, as well as in the change of population, the material culture and the linguistic identity of the area. |
