Aleric the Visigoth

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Born about 370 AD; Died 410 AD probibly of fever~ King Aleric was buried under a river bed in Busento along with his choice spoils. The captives who re-routed the river for his funeral routed it back again after the burial. Then they were killed to prevent them from telling where the grave-site is.

Music:

King Alerc sacked Italy twice after being passed over for promotion by the successors of Emperor Theodosius I upon the Emperor's death in 395 AD.

Movies:

Famous Quote :"Rather to seek new kingdoms by our own work, than to slumber in peaceful subjection to the rule of others"

Television:

After sacking Rome; promoted to magistir militum per illyicum in the late Roman Empire.

Books:

The movements of the Visigoths became a Mass Migration period because the women and children of the Germanic Tribes followed the Gothic Army everywhere [for the food and land].

Heroes:

King Aleric was succeeded by his Brother-in-Law Ataulf.
