Rutuli
The Rutuli or Rutulians (ancient italic ''Rudhuli'', "the red ones" with the meaning of "the blond ones"〔Giacomo Devoto, ''Gli antichi Italici'', Firenze, Vallecchi, 1931, p. 85.〕) were members of a legendary Italic tribe. The Rutuli were located in a territory whose capital was the ancient town of Ardea, located about 35 km southeast of Rome.〔Hazlit, William. ''The Classical Gazetteer'' (1851), p. 297.〕
Thought to have been descended from the Umbri and the Pelasgians, according to modern scholars they were more probably connected with the Etruscan or Ligurian peoples.〔Nicholas Hammond, Howard Scullard.Dizionario di antichità classiche. Milano, Edizioni San Paolo, 1995, p.1836-1836. ISBN 88-215-3024-8.〕
==Mythological history==
In Virgil's ''Aeneid'', and also according to Livy,〔Livy, ''Ab urbe condita'', 1.2〕 the Rutuli are led by Turnus, a young prince to whom Latinus, king of the Latins, had promised the hand of his daughter Lavinia in marriage. When the Trojans arrived in Italy, Latinus decided to give his daughter to Aeneas because of instructions he had received from the gods to marry his daughter to a foreigner. Turnus was outraged and led his people as well as several other Italian tribes against the Trojans in war. Virgil's text ends when Aeneas defeats Turnus in single combat and therefore gains the right to marry Lavinia. In some other accounts of the story of Aeneas, he is later killed in a subsequent battle with the Rutuli.〔Strabo, Geographica, 5:3:2〕
