The Buri first appear in history as a Germanic tribe mentioned in the Germania of Tacitus, where they "close the back" of the Marcomanni and Quadi of Bohemia and Moravia. It is said that their speech and customs were like those of the Suebi. Such a statement implies that the Buri had recently come from Suebia, as the Germanics in Bohemia and Moravia were newcomers, having driven out the Celtic Boii and taken their lands.

Ptolemy, however, mentions the Lougoi Bouroi (transliterated by the scholars into Latin Lugi Buri) dwelling in southern Poland between the Sudetes and the upper Vistula. They are distinct from the Silingae (Silesians), who are on the upper Oder. Tacitus and Ptolemy together imply that the Buri may have entered Moravia from Suebia with the Marcomanni and Quadi and then moved into the upper Vistula region, where they allied themselves with the Lugii there.

The fate of the Buri seems tied to that of the Danubian tribes, as they joined the Marcomanni-inspired invasion of the empire in the 2nd century AD, going against the emperor, Marcus Aurelius (Julius Capitolinus, Life of Marcus Aurelius). The latter became a tougher adversary than the Germanics had suspected and so many tribes, including the Buri, made a separate peace. They were well rewarded by the Romans for doing so, but they then had to face the vengeance of their old allies (Cassius Dio, Books 72-73).

After the death of Marcus, and further Germanic unrest, the Buri petitioned his son, Commodus, for peace. At this point they were destitute, having spent their resources on war. As they now met the empire's qualifications for financial aid; to wit, being destitute and potentially dangerous, they received it. The Marcomanni were enjoined from seeking retaliation. Since they themselves were now destitute and seeking terms, they complied, as far as we know. Jump to: navigation, search Commodus as Hercules. ...

The Buri now bow off stage. Very likely, their destiny was like that of the other Germanic tribes along the Danube; that is, they either became citizens of new states in Silesia, or they broke into the empire with the other east Germanics and settled in Bavaria or southward in Austria and Italy.

I suspect the Buri (Bouroi) = Bauari = Bavari = Bavarians.
