Ildibad was a nephew of Theudis, one of the Visigothic kings in Spain.

By 508, the Visigoths had lost most of their Gallic holdings save Septimania in the south.

There were also deep sectarian splits among the Catholic population of the peninsula.

In 531, he received pleas from his sister Chrotilda, wife of King Amalaric of the Visigoths.

While Attila was trapped in his camp, the Visigoths searched for their missing king and his son Thorismund.

The Visigoths scorned to interfere among Catholics but were interested in decorum and public order.

Such a sovereign was considered the most direct representative of the Visigothic kings, who had been themselves the representatives of the Roman Empire.

In the 5th century, the Iberian Peninsula (the Roman Hispania) was conquered by the Germanic Suebi and Visigoths.

Fritigern's victory soon led to the Thervings gaining control of much of the Balkan peninsula.

The Amali faction proceeded to proclaim Sigeric, a brother of Sarus, as the next king of the Visigoths.

After city was besieged by the Visigoths in 402, the imperial residence was moved to the more strategic city of Ravenna.

These same Goths then rose in rebellion and defeated the Romans in the Battle of Adrianople in 378 AD.

The Suebi and the Visigoths were the Germanic tribes who had the most lasting presence in the territories corresponding to modern Portugal.

In 377, a famine hit the areas settled by the Thervingi, and their appeals for help went unanswered.

In this the Franks lagged behind the Burgundians and the Visigoths, that they had no universal Roman based law.

The Visigoths now came into conflict with the Franks under their King Clovis I, who had conquered northern Gaul.

The historian Jordanes states that Attila was enticed by the Vandals' king Gaiseric to wage war on the Visigoths.

At the same time, Gaiseric would attempt to sow strife between the Visigoths and the Western Roman Empire ( Getica 36.184 6).

In 410, during the Sack of Rome, the mausoleum was despoiled by the Goths and his ashes scattered.

In 400, the Visigoths invaded the Western Roman Empire and, although briefly forced back from Italy, in 410 sacked the city of Rome.

The Roman defences were again overthrown in the early 5th century by the Visigoths and, some 50 years later, by the Huns led by Attila.

Baetia was Roman until the brief invasion of the Vandals and Alans passed through in the 5th century, followed by the more permanent kingdom of the Visigoths.

Christianity came early to the city, and with the fall of the Western Roman Empire the Visigoths established in the city.

They founded the only new cities in western Europe from the fall of the Western half of the Roman Empire until the rise of the Carolingians.

The gifts and diplomatic efforts of Geiseric, who opposed and feared the Visigoths, may also have influenced Attila's plans.

In 376, the Visigoths advanced to the far shores of the lower Danube and sent an ambassador to Valens who had set up his capital in Antioch.

The Visigothic Kingdom was a kingdom that occupied what is now southwestern France and the Iberian Peninsula from the 5th to the 8th centuries.

When Alaric II was killed fighting Clovis I, king of the Franks, in the Battle of Vouillé (507), his kingdom fell into disarray.

According to Jordanes, Aëtius feared that if the Huns were completely destroyed, the Visigoths would break off their allegiance to the Roman Empire and become an even graver threat.

After several centuries without foreign presence, the Suebi and Visigoths occupied the land from the 6th century AD to the beginning of the 8th century, ending with the Moorish invasion of Spain.

The alliance between Burgundians and Visigoths seems to have been strong, as Gundioc and his brother Chilperic I accompanied Theodoric II to Spain to fight the Sueves in 455.

Under Theodoric I (418 51), the Visigoths attacked Arles (in 425 and 430) and Narbonne (436), but were checked by Flavius Aetius using Hunnic mercenaries, and Theodoric was defeated in 438.

The Salian Franks answered the call and fought in the battle of the Catalaunian Fields in a temporary alliance with Romans and Visigoths, which de facto ended the Hunnic threat to Western Europe.

His views on perceived dangers of Arianism (still strong among the Visigoths) led him to preface the Historia with a detailed expression of his orthodoxy on the nature of Christ.

In 463 Childeric fought in conjunction with the Roman General Aegidius, the magister militum of northern Gaul based in Soissons, to defeat the Visigoths, who had hoped to extend their dominion along the banks of the Loire River.

The Visigoths also developed the highly influential law code known in Western Europe as the Liber Iudiciorum , which would become the basis for Spanish law throughout the Middle Ages.
