Pissa River
The Pissa (russian: Писса) is a river in the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia near Chernyakhovsk. Etymology The Pissa, Inster and Angerapp (Angrapa) are tributaries to the Pregel river.

Bisinus
Bisinus (sometimes shortened to Bisin) was the king of Thuringia in the 5th century AD or around 500. He is the earliest historically attested ruler of the Thuringians. Almost nothing more about him can be said with certainty, including whether all the variations on his name in the sources refer to one or two different persons. His name is given as Bysinus, Bessinus or Bissinus in Frankish sources, and as Pissa, Pisen, Fisud or Fisut in Lombard ones. History Bisinus was the first husband of Menia, a fact attested only in the 9th-century ''Historia Langobardorum codicis Gothani''. He had a daughter, Raicunda, who became the first wife of the Lombard king Wacho (c. 510–540), a fact attested in all three of the main Lombard chronicles (two of which specify that he was king of the Thuringians). Menia later married a man (unnamed in the sources) of the Gausus family and became the mother of Audoin, who in 540 became the regent of Wacho's son by his third wife, Walthari, and ...
