| GOTHS TIMELINE AD 200-400 200 - The Burgundians are forced from their homeland (Diesner, 1982). The Alamans arrive in southwestern Germania and begin to raid the Empire (Diesner, 1982). The Roman province of Germanicus Inferior is at its height of occupation (Tent, 1973). The Goths divide along the Dniester River into the Visigoths (Thervings) and Ostrogoths (Greutungs) (Bradley, 1888). 201 - The Alamans continue to raid Agri Decumates (Diesner, 1982). 208 - Earliest evidence that Goths were being incorporated into the Roman Army (Speidel, 1977). 220 - The Ostrogoths invade Asia Minor successfully and the Visigoths migrate inside Germania (Musset, 1975). 230 - Ostrogoths move and settle near the Slavic tribes northwest of the Black Sea (Musset, 1975). 233 - Vandals and Alamans move inside Germania (Todd, 1972). 238 - During the reign of Emperor Gordian III, the Carpi invade Dobuja in Dacia repeatedly from AD 238 to 244 (MacKendrick, 1975). Evidence of Goth attacks in AD 238 is found in Iulius Capitolinus, Scriptores Historiae Augustae, Maximus et Balbinus 16,3 (Scorpan, 1980 , Magie, 1921). The first major Gothic incursion into the Roman territory came in 238 with the city of Histria at the mouth of the river Danube being pillaged and the Roman army failing to defend it (Heather and Matthews, 1991). The Goths came from north of the Black Sea to Moesia with Germanic allies (Cunliffe, 1993b, Todd, 1992). The Goths invade and extract payment from the Romans before they withdrew and returned prisoners that they had taken in the raids. The Romans continue to pay the Goths to not attack until AD 245 when the Goths invade promptly (Grant, 1999). 245 - The Romans stop paying tribute to king Ostrogotha of the Ostrogoths (Amaling) in AD245. Rome had been paying tribute to Goths because of the attacks of 238 to protect them from the Sarmatians. Emperor Philip the Arab ceased the payment and Ostrogotha crossed the Danube with his army and plundered Moesia and Thrace. Emperor Decius quickly brought the Roman army, and the Goths retreat over Danube into Germania (Bradley, 1888). 249 - The Gothic King Kniva crosses the river Danube in 2 columns sending one to Dobruja and the other to Novae, Nicopolis, Philippopolis, and Augusta Traiana (Scorpan, 1980). This is the second of the 4 major waves of Germanic tribes, which occur from AD 249 to 251 (Scorpan, 1980). 250 - The Goths move into Asia Minor and remain there in some capacity from AD 250-270 (Cunliffe, 1993b). The Carpi again invade Dacia, the Goths under Kniva defeats Emperor Decius near Beroea (verria) (Grant, 1999). The Gothic king, Kniva continues to invade Moesia (Scorpan, 1980). The city of Beroea in Greece is sacked by the Goths (Kinder and Hilgemann, 1974). The second of the 4 major attacks (248,249-251, 253, and 267) continues (Scorpan, 1980). 251 - The second of the 4 major attacks continues with many skirmishes along the limes (Scorpan, 1980). The Gothic tribes were hugely destructive during their invasions in AD 251 (Wolfram, 1988). King Cniva (not the Amaling) attacked Moesia and Thrace, while Roman Emperor, Decius, went to defend Nicopolis from the Goths. The Goths, however, went to the Balkan Mountains to attack Philippopolis. So, Decius pursued Cniva toward Philippopolis. However, Cniva unexpectedly turned and fought. Decius lost the battle and fled. Cniva then took the city and lost thousands in the attempt, but it is said that over 100,000 Romans were massacred inside the city. Decius sets up an ambush at the Balkan Pass. The Goths requested passage through the pass in exchange for their remaining prisoners. Decius rejects the offer and the Battle of Abrittus commenses (Bradley, 1888). Rome loses the battle and their Emperor Decius at the Battle of Abrittus (Victor and Bird, 1994, Scorpan, 1980). Arminius gets lost in a swamp and Goths destroy the Roman army with Decius - (Bury, 1926). Deciusâment (Bradley, 1888). Emperor Trebonianus paid Goth a great sum of money and land because he was â251 were categorized with everything from bloodlust to the eating of raw meat (Wolfram, 1988). 253 - The third of the 4 major attacks (248,249-251, 253, and 267) occurs in AD 253 with many tribes attacking the Empire (Scorpan, 1980).

| The Ostrogoths were dwelling in Pannonia under their king Valamir and his brothers Thiudimer and Vidimer. Although their territories were separate, yet their plans were one. For Valamir dwelt between the rivers Scarniunga and Aqua Nigra, Thiudimer near Lake Pelso and Vidimer between them both. Now it happened that the sons of Attila, regarding the Goths as deserters from their rule, came against them as though they were seeking fugitive slaves, and attacked Valamir alone, when his brothers knew nothing of it. He sustained their attack, though he had but few supporters, and after harassing them a long time, so utterly overwhelmed them that scarcely any portion of the enemy remained. The remnant turned in flight and sought the parts of Scythia which border on the stream of the river Danaper, which the Huns call in their own tongue the Var. Thereupon he sent a messenger of good tidings to his brother Thiudimer, and on the very day the messenger arrived he found even greater joy in the house of Thiudimer. For on that day his son Theodoric was born, of a concubine Erelieva indeed, and yet a child of good hope. Now after no great time King Valamir and his brothers Thiudimer and Vidimer sent an embassy to the Emperor Marcian, because the usual gifts which they received like a New Year's present from the Emperor, to preserve the compact of peace, wereslow in arriving. And they found that Theodoric, son of Triarius, a man of Gothic blood also, but born of another stock, not of the Amali, was in great favor, together with his followers. He was allied in friendship with the Romans and obtained an annual bounty, while they themselves were merely held in disdain. Thereat they were aroused to frenzy and took up arms. They roved through almost the whole of Illyricum and laid it waste in their search for spoil. Then the Emperor quickly changed his mind and returned to his former state of friendship. He sent an embassy to give them the past gifts, as well as those now due, and furthermore promised to give these gifts in future without any dispute. From the Goths the Romans received as a hostage of peace Theodoric, the young child of Thiudimer, whom we have mentioned above. He had now attained the age of seven years and was entering upon his eighth. While his father hesitated about giving him up, his uncle Valamir besought him to do it, hoping that peace between the Romans and the Goths might thus be assured. Therefore Theodoric was given as a hostage by the Goths and brought to the city of Constantinople to the Emperor Leo and, being a goodly child, deservedly gained the imperial favor. Now after firm peace was established between Goths and Romans, the Goths found that the possessions they had received from the Emperor were not sufficient for them. Furthermore, they were eager to display their wonted valor, and so began to plunder the neighboring races round about them, first attacking the Sadagis who held the interior of Pannonia. When Dintzic, king of the Huns, a son of Attila, learned this, he gathered to him the few who still seemed to have remained under his sway, namely, the Ultzinzures, and Angisciri, the Bittugures and the Bardores. Coming to Bassiana, a city ofPannonia, he beleaguered it and began to plunder its territory. Then the Goths at once abandoned the expedition they had planned against the Sadagis, turned upon the Huns and drove them so ingloriously from their own land that those who remained have been in dread of the arms of the Goths from that time down to the present day. When the tribe of the Huns was at last subdued by the Goths, Hunimund, chief of the Suavi, who was crossing over to plunder Dalmatia, carried off some cattle of the Goths which were straying over the plains; for Dalmatia was near Suavia and not far distant from the territory of Pannonia, especially that part where the Goths were then staying. So then, as Hunimund was returning with the Suavi to his own country, after he had devastated Dalmatia, Thiudimer the brother of Valamir, king of the Goths, kept watch on their line of march. Not that he grieved so much over the loss of his cattle, but he feared that if the Suavi obtained this plunder with impunity, they would proceed to greater license. So in the dead of night,while they were asleep, he made an unexpected attack upon them, near Lake Pelso. Here he so completely crushed them that he took captive and sent into slavery under the Goths even Hunimund, their king, and all of his army who had escaped thesword. Yet as he was a great lover of mercy, he granted pardon after taking vengeance and became reconciled to the Suavi. He adopted as his son the same man whom he had taken captive, and sent him back with his followers into Suavia. But Hunimund was unmindful of his adopted father's kindness. After some time he brought forth a plot he had contrived and aroused the tribe of the Sciri, who then dwelt above the Danube and abode peaceably with the Goths. So the Sciri broke off their alliance with them, took up arms, joined themselves to Hunimund and went out to attack the race of the Goths. Thus war came upon the Goths who were expecting no evil, because they relied upon both of their neighbors as friends. Constrained by necessity they took up arms and avenged themselves and their injuries by recourse to battle. In this battle, as King Valamir rode on his horse before the line to encourage his men, the horse was wounded and fell, overthrowing its rider. Valamir was quickly pierced by his enemies' spears and slain. Thereupon the Goths proceeded to exact vengeance for the death of their king, as well as for the injury done them by the rebels. They fought in such wise that there remained of all the race of the Sciri only a few who bore the name, and they with disgrace. Thus were all destroyed. The kings [of the Suavi], Hunimund and Alaric, fearing the destruction that had come upon the Sciri, next made war upon the Goths, relying upon the aid of the Sarmations, who had come to them as auxiliaries with their kings Beuca and Babai. They summoned the last remnants of the Sciri, with Edica and Hunuulf, their chieftains, thinking they would fight the more desperately to avenge themselves. They had on their side the Gepidae also, as well as no small reinforcements from the race of the Rugi and from others gathered here and there. Thus they brought together a great host at the river Bolia in Pannonia and encamped there. Now when Valamir was dead, the Goths fled to Thiudimer, his brother. Although he had long ruled along with his brothers, yet he took the insignia of his increased authority and summoned his younger brother Vidimer and shared with him the cares of war, resorting to arms under compulsion. A battle was fought and the party of the Goths was found to be so much the stronger that the plain was drenched in the blood of their fallen foes and looked like a crimson sea. Weapons and corpses, piled up like hills, covered the plain for more than ten miles. When the Goths saw this, they rejoiced with joy unspeakable, because by this great slaughter of their foes they had avenged the blood of Valamir their king and the injury done themselves. But those of the innumerable and motley throng of the foe who were able to escape,though they got away, nevertheless came to their own land with difficulty and without glory. After a certain time, when the wintry cold was at hand, the river Danube was frozen over as usual. For a river like this freezes so hard that it will support like a solid rock an army of foot-soldiers and wagons and carts and whatsoever vehicles there may be, - nor is there need of skiffs and boats. So when Thiudimer, king of the Goths, saw that it was frozen, he led his army across the Danube and appeared unexpectedly to the Suavi from the rear. Now this country of the Suavi hason the east the Baiovari, on the west the Franks, on the south the Burgundians and on the north the Thuringians. With the Suavi there were present the Alamanni, then their confederates, who also ruled the Alpine heights, whence several streams flow into the Danube, pouring in with a great rushing sound. Into a place thus fortified King Thiudimer led his army in the winter-time and conquered, plundered and almost subdued the race of the Suavi as well as the Alamanni, who were mutually banded together. Thence he returned as victor to his own home in Pannonia and joyfully received his son Theodoric, once given as hostage to Constantinople and now sent back by the Emperor Leo with great gifts. Now Theodoric had reached man's estate, for he was eighteen years of age and his boyhood was ended. So he summoned certain of his father's adherents and took to himself from the people his friends and retainers, - almost six thousand men. With these he crossed the Danube, without his father's knowledge, and marched against Babai, king of the Sarmatians, who had just won a victory over Camundus, a general of the Romans, and was ruling with insolent pride. Theodoric came upon him and slew him, and taking asbooty his slaves and treasure, returned victorious to his father. Next he invaded the city of Singidunum, which the Sarmatians themselves had seized, and did not return it to the Romans, but reduced it to his own sway. Then as the spoil taken from one and another of the neighboring tribes diminished, the Goths began to lack food and clothing, and peace became distasteful to men for whom war had long furnished the necessaries of life. So all the Goths approached their king Thiudimer and, with great outcry, begged him to lead forth his army in whatsoever direction he might wish. He summoned his brother and, after casting lots, bade him go into the country of Italy, where at this time Glycerius ruled as emperor, saying that he himself as the mightier would go to the east against a mightier empire. And so it happened. Thereupon Vidimer entered the land of Italy, but soon paid the last debt of fate and departed from earthly affairs, leaving his son and namesake Vidimer to succeed him. The Emperor Glycerius bestowed gifts upon Vidimer and persuaded him to gofrom Italy to Gaul, which was then harassed on all sides by various races, saying that their own kinsmen, the Visigoths, there ruled a neighboring kingdom. And what more? Vidimer accepted the gifts and, obeying the command of the Emperor Glycerius, pressed on to Gaul. Joining with his kinsmen the Visigoths, they again formed one body, as they had been long ago. Thus they held Gaul and Spain by their own right and so defended them that no other race won the mastery there. But Thiudimer, the elder brother, crossed the river Savus with his men, threatening the Sarmatians and their soldiers with war if any should resist him. From fear of this they kept quiet; moreover they were powerless in the face of so great ahost. Thiudimer, seeing prosperity everywhere awaiting him, invaded Naissus, the first city of Illyricum. He was joined by his son Theodoric and the Counts Astat and Invilia, and sent them to Ulpiana by way of Castrum Herculis. Upon their arrival the town surrendered, as did Stobi later; and several places of Illyricum, inaccessible to them at first, were thus made easy of approach. For they first plundered and then ruled by right of war Heraclea and Larissa, cities of Thessaly.But Thiudimer the king, perceiving his own good fortune and that of his son, was not content with this alone, but set forth from the city of Naissus, leaving only a few men behind as a guard. He himself advanced to Thessalonica, where Hilarianus the Patrician, appointed by the Emperor, was stationed with his army. When Hilarianus beheld Thessalonica surrounded by an entrenchment and saw that he could not resist attack, he sent an embassy to Thiudimer the king and by the offer ofgifts turned him aside from destroying the city. Then the Roman general entered upon a truce with the Goths and of his own accord handed over to them those places they inhabited, namely Cyrrhus, Pella, Europus, Methone, Pydna, Beroea, and another which is called Dium. So the Goths and their king laid aside their arms, consented to peace and became quiet. Soon after these events, King Thiudimer was seized with a mortal illness in the city of Cyrrhus. He called the Goths to himself, appointed Theodoric his son as heir of his kingdom and presently departed this life. Source : http://historion.net/jordanes-origin-deeds-goths/page-42.html |
| Teodorico era miembro de la estirpe de los Amalos como hijo de Teodomiro. En el año 462 fue capturado por los romanos y llevado a Constantinopla como prisionero donde se educó en los valores romanos, conociendo también las debilidades de la corte en un momento de crisis. Regresó a las tierras ostrogodas donde se convirtió en un potente líder, apoyando a Zenón como emperador de Constantinopla. Sin embargo, no recibió el apoyo imperial para su proyecto más importante: liberar las tierras italianas controladas por Odoacro. A pesar de carecer del permiso imperial, Teodorico se dirigió hacia la península Itálica para poner en marcha un plan de conquista que fue lento debido a la resistencia de Odoacro, quien se refugió en Ravena. Teodorico se dirigió a la ciudad y en el año 493 acababa controlándola y asesinando a Odoacro. De esa manera Teodorico y los ostrogodos se hacía dueños de Italia aunque apenas se produjeron cambios en las instituciones existentes, rodeándose de consejeros de origen romano e incluso permitiendo la coexistencia de la Iglesia romana, a pesar de profesar el arrianismo. Intentó armonizar las relaciones entre romanos y bárbaros, sin renunciar a las diferencias existentes entre ambas sociedades, tarea difícil que pudo sacar adelante. Su política exterior también es digna de mención ya que puso en marcha un amplio plan de alianzas -que incluían los enlaces matrimoniales- para convertirse enel líder hegemónico de los pueblos bárbaros. Especialmente intensas fueron las relaciones con los visigodos al convertirse Teodorico en tutor de Amalarico, quien sería el rey de España. En sus últimos años, Teodorico participó activamente en el conflicto religioso que vivía Oriente.

| Vinitharius, Conqueror of the Venedi-Slavs, was a subordinate of the Hunnic King Balamber, but rejected Hunnic control. Also called King Vinitharius of the Goths. He was born circa 353. He became king of the Goths under Hunnic control following the death of Ermenaric, the last independent king circa 376. King of Goths between 376 and 400. Defeated and killed by Balamber, the Hunnic King, who rejected his claim of independence. Vinitharius of the Amali retained the insignia of his rule. He rivalled the valor of his grandfather Vultuulf, although he had not the good fortune of Hermanaric. But disliking to remain under the rule of the Huns, he withdrew a little from them and strove to show his courage by moving his forces against the country of the Antes. When he attacked them, he was beaten in the first encounter. Thereafter he did valiantly and, as a terrible example, crucified their king, named Boz, together with his sons and seventy nobles, and left their bodies hanging there to double the fear of those who had surrendered. When he had ruled with such license for barely a year, Balamber, king of the Huns, would no longer endure it, but sent for Gesimund, son of Hunimund the Great. Now Gesimund, together with a great part of the Goths, remained under the rule of the Huns, being mindful of his oath of fidelity. Balamber renewed his alliance with him and led his army up against Vinitharius. After a long contest, Vinitharius prevailed in the first and in the second conflict, nor can any say how great a slaughter he made of the army of the Huns. But in the third battle, when they met each other unexpectedly at the river named Erac, Balamber shot an arrow and wounded Vinitharius in the head, so that he died. Then Balamber took to himself in marriage Vadamerca, the grand-daughter of Vinitharius, and finally ruled all the people of the Goths as his peaceful subjects, but in such a way that one ruler of their own number always held the power over the Gothic race, though subject to the Huns. And later, after the death of Vinitharius, ruled Hunimund, the son of Hermanaric, a mighty king of yore; a man fierce in war and of famous personal beauty, who afterwards fought successfully against the race of the Suavi.
