Visigoths

Germanic people of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages

The Visigoths (Latin: Visigothi, Wisigothi, Vesi, Visi, Wesi, Wisi) were a Gothic people who emerged in the Balkans during late antiquity. Probably descended from the Thervingi who entered the Roman Empire in 376 and defeated the Romans at the Battle of Adrianople (378), they were first united under Alaric I (395–410), whose forces alternately fought and allied with Rome before famously sacking the city in 410. In 418, the Visigoths were settled as foederati in southern Gaul, establishing a kingdom with its capital at Toulouse.
