Tunglo (c. 826) was an Early Slavic ruler (duke) of the Sorbs, a Polabian Slavic ancestral tribe of modern Sorbs. He is mentioned in the Royal Frankish Annals, as one of Sorbian leaders (Latin: unus de Soraborum primoribus) who was suspected of disobedience towards the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pius, as also recorded in the Vita Hludowici Imperatoris. In May 826, at a meeting at Ingelheim, dukes Čedrag of the Obotrites and Tunglo of the Sorbs (Latin: duos duces, Ceadragum Abotritorum et Tunglonem Soraborum) were accused in absence, and required to appear before the emperor. In October of the same year, both Čedrag and Tunglo came to Ingelheim, where the imperial assembly was held, thus trying to justify themselves to the emperor. In order to prove his loyalty, Tunglo surrendered his son as hostage and was allowed to return to his homeland.[1][2][3][4][5]
