THE GOTHS
 

The Goths came down from Scandinavia and gained momentum as they went. In the 3rd century AD, the Goths split into East Goths and West Goths, or Visigoths and Ostrogoths.

Alaric I was king of the Visigoths and so was Theodoric I, who was one of the few who managed to defeat Attila in battle.

Fritigern was a commander of the Visigoths who led his troops to victory at the Battle of Adrianople in 378.
