The king's action was justified by the "judgement of the Franks, Bavarians, Saxons, and Alemans".
In the 6th century the German speaking Bavarii started to inhabit the plateau, gradually extruding the Romansh from day to day language.
From the 6th century onwards, Bavarii tribes moved into the region—the name Strazzuualaha, first documented in 799, is probably derived from walha, the Proto-Germanic denotation for a Latinized population they had encountered, similar to nearby Seewalchen or Wals.
