Notes


King Euric and [his wife] had one son: 1. ALARIC ([458]-killed in battle Poitiers late summer 507). Iordanes names "Eurichus…filius Alarichus" when recording his succession after the death of his father[113]. He was elected to succeed his father at Toulouse 28 Dec 484 as ALARIC II King of the Visigoths. The main body of Visigoths entered Spain during his reign, largely resulting from military pressure from the Franks in the north[114]. King Alaric II formed an alliance with the Ostrogoths and sent military help in 490 in support of Theodoric in his struggle with Odovacar King of Italy[115]. The alliance was later confirmed by King Alaric's marriage to King Theodoric's daughter. Faced with continuing Frankish military expansion, King Alaric met Clovis King of the Franks in 502 on an island in the Loire near Amboise and agreed the River Loire as the frontier separating the two kingdoms[116]. He was responsible for compiling the Breviary Lex Romana Visigothorum, a Roman law-book, and supported a catholic church council at Agde in 506[117]. He was defeated and killed by Clovis King of the Franks at the campus Vogladensis[118], probably Voulan, near Poitiers, athough this is popularly known as the battle of Vouillé[119], which marked the end of Visigothic authority over the territory around Toulouse. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Alaricus” was killed by “Huduildus rex Francorum apud Pictavem” after reigning for 23 years[120]. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Alaricus” reigned for 23 years[121]. m ([494][122]) THEODEGOTHA [Thiudigotho] the Ostrogoth, illegitimate daughter of THEODORIC I King of the Ostrogoths in Italy & his concubine ---. Iordanes names "unam…Thiudigoto et aliam Ostrogotho" as the two daughters of Theodoric born "ex concubina…in Moesia" before his marriage to Audofledis, specifying that they came to Italy and were married "unam Alarico Vesegotharum et aliam Sigismundo Burgundzonorum"[123]. Procopius records that “regi Visigothorum Alarico” married "Theoderici…Theudichusam virginem filiam"[124]. Mistress (1): ---. The name of King Alaric's mistress is not known. King Alaric II & his wife had one child: a) AMALRIC (502-murdered Barcelona 531). Iordanes names "Amalricus" as the son of "Alarico Vesegotharum" & his wife[125]. Procopius records that the mother of “Amalricus” was "filiam Theoderici"[126]. Gregory of Tours relates that Amalric, son of Alaric, escaped from the battle in which his father was killed and fled to Spain[127]. He succeeded his father in 507 as AMALRIC King of the Visigoths, challenged by his half-brother. After his father's defeat, only Arles and Carcassonne remained under Visigoth control in France. In Jun 508, King Amalric's maternal grandfather Theodoric King of Italy arrived in France, relieved the siege of Arles, recaptured Marseille and re-established Visigoth hegemony over Septimania[128]. King Theodoric acted nominally as regent for King Amalric, although he proclaimed himself King of the Visigoths in 511 after defeating King Gesalic. Amalric was defeated by his brother-in-law Childebert King of the Franks at Narbonne in 531, and fled to Barcelona where he established his capital but was murdered soon after by his cousin Theudis. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Amalricus” reigned for five years[129]. m (511) CHROTHIELDIS [Clotilde] of the Franks, daughter of CLOVIS I [Chlodovech] King of the Franks & his second wife Chrotechildis [Clotilde] of Burgundy (-531, bur Paris, basilique des Saints-Apôtres [later église Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Tours refers to the marriage of the (unnamed) sister of the four brothers Theoderic, Chlodomer, Childebert and Lothar with Amalric King of the Visigoths, arranged after the death of their father, specifying that she was sent to Spain "with a great dowry of expensive jewellery"[130]. Procopius records that “rex…Visigotthorum Amalaricus” married "Regis Theodeberti sororem"[131]. Gregory names her Clotilde in a later passage which records that she was maltreated by her husband, brought back to France by her brother King Childebert who attacked and defeated King Amalric, but died on the journey and buried in Paris beside her father[132]. King Alaric II had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1): b) GESALIC (-murdered in Burgundy [511/12] or [513/14][133]). He was proclaimed as GESALIC King of the Visigoths in Narbonne in 507, in opposition to his infant half-brother. Isidor's Historia Gothorum, Wandalorum, Sueborum records that "Gisaleicus…regis [Alarici] filius ex concubina" succeeded as king of the Visgoths at Narbonne[134]. Procopius names “Giselicum, Alarici ex concubine filium” when recording his accession[135]. He was defeated by the Ostrogoths in 510, was deposed and fled to Barcelona. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Gesalaicus” was defeated at Narbonne by “Gundibado Burgundionem rege” and fled to Barcelona, from where he went “ad Africam Wandalis” for help which was refused, and that he was killed after returning to Barcelona “a duce Teuderici Italiæ regis” during the reign of Emperor Anastasius[136]. From Barcelona he fled to the Vandal court at Carthage, and was given resources to return and renew his resistance[137]. He was eventually captured on his way to seek support from Gundobad King of Burgundy, and executed near the River Durance in Gaul by supporters of his half-brother King Amalric[138]. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Geselicus” reigned for three years “et in latebra annum I alibi XV”[139].
