Cleph (also spelled Clef, Clepho, or Kleph) was king of the Lombards from 572 to 574.
== Biography == He succeeded Alboin, though he was not related to him by blood. Cleph was regarded as a violent and fearsome figure by the Romans and Byzantines, who were still attempting to maintain their hold on the Italian Peninsula. During his brief reign, he completed the Lombard conquest of Tuscany and brought their dominion to the gates of Ravenna, thereby extending Lombard control over nearly all of Northern Italy.
