Kings of the Visigoths The Germanic Goths lived in northern Poland AD 100 and it is possible that they originated from Scandinavia. Their migrations during the second century AD brought them to present day Romania and Ukraine. When the Huns conquered the Gothic territories at the end of the fourth century some of the Goths (soon to be called Visigoths) took refuge inside the Roman Empire, which gave them the status of foederati (allies). Early leaders were Athanaric (Athanreiks) 363-381 and Fritigern (Frithugairns) 369-380. TheGoths were however troublesome allies to the Romans and they plundered Roman territory several times. They broke the peace with Rome 395 and began a migration, lead by Alaric (Alhareiks), which would result in the sacking of Rome 410 until they again were given the status as foederati and settled in Aquitaine in southern France 418. The Visigoths established a kingdom there, which during the fifth century would expand so it eventually covered the Iberian peninsula. Aquitaine was lost to the Franks 507 and the Arab conquest of the Iberian peninsula began 711 whereby the Visigothic kingdom ceased to exist. 395-410 410-415 415 415-418 418-451 451-453 453-466 466-484 484-507 507-511 511-531 * 531-548 548-549 549-554 554-567 567-572 572-586 586-601 601-603 603-610 610-612 612-621 621 621-631 631-636 636-640 640-642 642-653 653-672 672-680 680-687 687-702 702-709 709-711 (710)-713 713-720 Alarico I Ataúlfo Sigérico Walia Teodorico I Turismundo Teodorico II Eurico Alarico II Gesaleico Amalarico Theudis Theudisclo Agila I Atanagildo Liuva I Leovigildo Recaredo I Liuva II Witérico Gundemaro Sisebuto Recaredo II Suíntila Sisenando Khíntila Tulga Khindasvinto Recesvinto Wamba Ervigio Egica Witiza Rodrigo Agila II Ardo Alaric I Athaulf Sigeric Wallia Theodoric I Thorismund Theodoric II Euric Alaric II Gesalic Amalaric Theudis Theudegisel Agila I Athanagild Liuva I Leuvigild Reccared I Liuva II Witteric Gundemar Sisebut Reccared II Suinthila Sisenand Chintila Tulga Chindaswinth Reccaswinth Wamba Erwig Egica Witiza Roderic Agila II Ardo * = The Ostrogothic king Theodoric the Great was regent 511-52 |
