  AMALRIC (502-murdered Barcelona 531). Iordanes names "Amalricus" as the son of "Alarico Vesegotharum" & his wife[125]. Procopius records that the mother of “Amalricus” was "filiam Theoderici"[126].
  
  Gregory of Tours relates that Amalric, son of Alaric, escaped from the battle in which his father was killed and fled to Spain[127]. He succeeded his father in 507 as AMALRIC King of the Visigoths, challenged by his half-brother.
  
  After his father's defeat, only Arles and Carcassonne remained under Visigoth control in France. In June 508, King Amalric's maternal grandfather Theodoric King of Italy arrived in France, relieved the siege of Arles, recaptured Marseille and re-established Visigoth hegemony over Septimania[128].
  
  King Theodoric acted nominally as regent for King Amalric, although he proclaimed himself King of the Visigoths in 511 after defeating King Gesalic.
  
  Amalric was defeated by his brother-in-law Childebert King of the Franks at Narbonne in 531, and fled to Barcelona where he established his capital but was murdered soon after by his cousin Theudis.
  
  The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Amalricus” reigned for five years[129].
  
  m (511) CHROTHIELDIS [Clotilde] of the Franks, daughter of CLOVIS I [Chlodovech] King of the Franks & his second wife Chrotechildis [Clotilde] of Burgundy (-531, bur Paris, basilique des Saints-Apôtres [later église Sainte-Geneviève]).
  
  Gregory of Tours refers to the marriage of the (unnamed) sister of the four brothers Theoderic, Chlodomer, Childebert and Lothar with Amalric King of the Visigoths, arranged after the death of their father, specifying that she was sent to Spain "with a great dowry of expensive jewellery"[130].
  
  Procopius records that “rex…Visigothorum Amalaricus” married "Regis Theodeberti sororem"[131]. Gregory names her Clotilde in a later passage which records that she was maltreated by her husband, brought back to France by her brother King Childebert who attacked and defeated King Amalric, but died on the journey and is buried in Paris beside her father[132].

  Amalarico (em latim: Amalaricus; ? — 531), rei dos visigodos, filho de Alarico II com Teodegoda, era ainda criança quando seu pai morreu na batalha de Vouillé contra o rei franco Clodoveu I (507). Para sua segurança foi levado a Hispânia, que, junto com a Provença, eram na época governadas por seu avô materno, o rei ostrogótico Teodorico, o Grande (r. 474–526).
  
  O jovem Amalarico foi proclamado rei em 522, e quatro anos depois, com a morte de Teodorico, foi coroado rei dos visigodos, cedendo a Provença a seu primo Atalarico.
  
  Casou-se com uma princesa dos francos,[1] Clotilde, filha de Clodoveu,[carece de fontes] porém suas brigas com ela - sendo ele ariano e ela católica - levaram a uma invasão dos francos, governados por Quildeberto I, cunhado de Amalarico.[1]
  
  Reinado de Amalarico (526-531)
  Amalarico firmou um tratado com Atalarico, neto e sucessor de Teodorico na Itália, em virtude do qual se fixaram os limites de ambos reinos e anulou-se o tributo visigodo aos ostrogodos, assim como a subvenção destes aos primeiros. O tesouro real visigodo foi reintegrado. Em virtude dos acordos com os ostrogodos, fixaram-se definitivamente os limites da província Gália Narbonense.
  
  Morte
  Por causa do tratamento brutal que Amalarico deu à sua esposa franca, que não queria se converter ao Arianismo, Quilderico I, seu irmão, atacou Narbona.[1] Amalarico perdeu a batalha e foi morto por um motim dos seus soldados, em 531.[1] Têudis usurpou o trono e reinou por dezessete anos.[1]

  === Amalarico ===
  Era un niño cuando su padre murió en batalla contra Clodoveo I el Grande, rey de los francos (507). Por su seguridad fue llevado a Hispania, que —junto con la Provenza— eran por aquel entonces gobernadas por su abuelo materno, Teodorico el Grande, rey de los Ostrogodos.
  
  El joven Amalarico fue proclamado rey en 522. Cuatro años después, a la muerte de Teodorico, fue coronado rey de los visigodos, cediendo la Provenza a su primo Atalarico. Se casó con Clotilde, hija de Clodoveo I, pero los maltratos que le daba —con la excusa de ser él arriano y ella católica— condujeron a una invasión de los francos (531), en cuyo transcurso murió asesinado.

  === Notes ===
  Lors de la bataille de Vouillé, Amalaric est sur le champ de bataille avec son (demi) frère aîné Geisalic et son père qui y trouve la mort. Alors que son frère est élu roi des Wisigoths, à Narbonne, il est placé sous la tutelle de son grand-père Théodoric le Grand des Ostrogoths. Ainsi, il était protégé des ambitions de Geisalic, et il devient effectivement roi d'Hispanie et de Septimanie en 522 (l'Aquitaine étant passée aux mains des Francs). Son grand-père gouverne en son nom jusqu'en 526 et place un gouverneur ostrogoth Theudis à ses côtés, qui continue sa mise sous tutelle jusqu'à la mort d'Amalaric en 531, avant de prendre sa place sur le trône.
  En 526, il fixe la frontière qui sépare le royaume wisigoth du royaume ostrogoth, en laissant la Provence aux Ostrogoths en échange de la fin du tribut payé par les Wisigoths aux Ostrogoths. Afin d'arrêter les raids francs dans le Nord de son royaume, il se marie la même année avec Clotilde, fille de Clovis, roi des Francs et de Clotilde, ce qui lui permit de récupérer une partie de l'Aquitaine grâce à la dot de Clotilde. Par la suite, il s'efforce d'établir l'arianisme dans ses États, maltraite Clotilde, parce qu'elle veut rester catholique, alors qu'il est arien, et s'attire ainsi la guerre avec Childebert, frère de Clotilde. Il est défait à Narbonne en 531, perdant par là son trésor, fait retraite vers Barcelone où il est poignardé par ses propres sujets vers le mois de décembre. Theudis, le gouverneur Ostrogoth mis en place par son grand-père, lui succède à la tête du royaume Wisigoth.

  He was a child when his father was killed in battle. Following the overthrow of his half-brother in 511, he was made king. As a youth he was put in the tutelage of his grandfather Theoderic. His marriage had problems centering around their religious beliefs. Amalaric was of the Arian form of Christianity and Clotilde was Catholac as her Frank relatives were. Finally he hhad enough of her obstinacy and carefully stationed his men along her path to church. As she passed they showered her with dung. According to Gregory of Tours, she was even beaten for her faith and sent a bloodied handkerchief to her family. Her brother Childebert came to rescue her. Amalaric fled from Narbonne to Barcelona and there his own troops took his life in 531.

  king of the Visigoths (526-531), son of Alaric I.
  
  Amalaric was a child when his father fell in battle against Clovis, king of the Franks (507). He was carried for safety into Spain, which country, with southern Languedoc and Provence, was thenceforth ruled by his maternal grandfather Theodoric the Great through his vice-regent, an Ostrogothic nobleman named Theudis. On Theodoric's death in 526, Amalaric assumed full royal power in Spain and a part of Languedoc, relinquishing Provence to his cousin Athalaric. He married Clotilda, daughter of Clovis, but his disputes with her, he being an Arian and she a Catholic, brought on a Frankish invasion, in which he lost his life.

He was a son of king Alaric II and his first wife Theodegotha, daughter of Theoderic the Great. When Alaric II was killed while fighting Clovis I, king of the Franks, in the Battle of Vouillé (507), his kingdom fell into disarray. "More serious than the destruction of the Gothic army," writes Herwig Wolfram, "than the loss of both Aquitanian provinces and the capital of Toulose, was the death of the king."[2] Alaric had made no provision for a successor, and although he had two sons, one was of age but illegitimate and the other, Amalaric, the offspring of a legal marriage but still a child. Amalaric was carried for safety into Spain, which country and Provence were thenceforth ruled by his maternal grandfather, Theodoric the Great, acting through his vice-regent, an Ostrogothic nobleman named Theudis.[3] The older son, Gesalec, was chosen as king but his reign was disastrous. King Theoderic of the Ostrogoths sent an army, led by his sword-bearer Theudis, against Gesalec, ostensibly on behalf of Amalaric; Gesalec fled to Africa. The Ostrogoths then drove back the Franks and their Burgundian allies, regaining possession of "the south of Novempopulana, Rodez, probably even Albi, and even Toulose". Following the 511 death of Clovis, Theoderic negotiated a peace with Clovis' successors, securing Visigothic control of the southernmost portion of Gaul for the rest of the existence of their kingdom.[4] In 522, the young Amalaric was proclaimed king, and four years later, on Theoderic's death, he assumed full royal power, although relinquishing Provence to his cousin Athalaric.[3] His kingdom was faced with a Frankish threat from the north; according to Peter Heather, this was his motivation for marrying Chrotilda, the daughter of Clovis.[5] However, this was not successful, for according to Gregory of Tours, Amalaric pressured her to forsake Orthodoxy and convert to Arian Christianity, at one point beating her until she bled; she sent to her brother Childebert I, king of Paris, a towel stained with her own blood.[6] It is worth noting Ian Wood's advice that although Gregory provides the fullest information for this period, where it touches Merovingian affairs, he often "allowed his religious bias to determine his interpretation of the events."[7] Peter Heather agrees with Wood's implication in this instance: "I doubt that this is the full story, but the effects of Frankish intervention are clear enough."[5] Childebert defeated the Visigothic army and took Narbonne. Amalaric fled south to Barcelona, where according to Isidore of Seville, he was assassinated by his own men.[8] According to Peter Heather, Theoderic's former governor Theudis was implicated in Amalaric's murder, "and was certainly its prime beneficiary."[9] As for Chrotilda, in Gregory's words, she died on the journey home "by some ill chance". Childebert had her body brought to Paris where she was buried alongside her father Clovis.[6]

   Note: The Balt dynasty[1][2][3] or Balth dynasty[4] (Latin: Balti or Balthi, i.e., Balts) was the first ruling family of the Visigoths from 395 until 531. They led the Visigoths into the Western Roman Empire in its declining years. According to the historian Ablabius, as reported by the historian Jordanes, the Visigoths had been ruled by the Balti since ancient times. Jordanes, however, says that all the Goths were formerly ruled by the Amal dynasty.[5] Relying on Cassiodorus, Jordanes says that the Balts were "second" after the Ostrogothic Amals.[6] He claims that the family was named from long ago for its daring: "Baltha, which [in Gothic] means bold" (Baltha, qui est audax).[7] Historian Herwig Wolfram theorizes that the name may derive from Pliny the Elder's island of Baltia (i.e., isle of the Balts), which he also calls Basilia (i.e., royal land).[4] The Visigoths as a nation were formed under the rule of Alaric I, the first named Balt, only in 395.[5] He famously sacked Rome in 410. His descendants continued to rule down to 531, when on the death of Amalaric the line went extinct. In 507, the Visigoths were defeated by the Franks at the Battle of Vouillé and lost most of their kingdom. In 511, the Ostrogothic king Theoderic the Great intervened to depose the Balt king Gesalec. He ruled himself until his death in 526, when Amalaric succeeded him. Theoderic's intervention is often credited with saving the Visigothic kingdom, but it ended the Balt dynasty.[3] The private wealth (res privata) of the Balt kings, which had been a foundation of their legitimacy, was transformed into the royal treasury (thesaurus regalis) and became state property after 531.[8] The dynastic principle was abandoned and kings were chosen by election until the fall of the Visigothic kingdom in 711.[1] List of rulers[edit] Alaric I (395–410) Ataulf (410–415) Wallia (415–419) Theodoric I (419–451) Thorismund (451–453) Theodoric II (453–466) Euric (466–484) Alaric II (484–507) Gesalec (507–511) Amalaric (526–531)

    Note: Kings of the Visigoths The Germanic Goths lived in northern Poland AD 100 and it is possible that they originated from Scandinavia. Their migrations during the second century AD brought them to present day Romania and Ukraine. When the Huns conquered the Gothic territories at the end of the fourth century some of the Goths (soon to be called Visigoths) took refuge inside the Roman Empire, which gave them the status of foederati (allies). Early leaders were Athanaric (Athanreiks) 363-381 and Fritigern (Frithugairns) 369-380. The Goths were however troublesome allies to the Romans and they plundered Roman territory several times. They broke the peace with Rome 395 and began a migration, lead by Alaric (Alhareiks), which would result in the sacking of Rome 410 until they again were given the status as foederati and settled in Aquitaine in southern France 418. The Visigoths established a kingdom there, which during the fifth century would expand so it eventually covered the Iberian peninsula. Aquitaine was lost to the Franks 507 and the Arab conquest of the Iberian peninsula began 711 whereby the Visigothic kingdom ceased to exist. 395-410 410-415 415 415-418 418-451 451-453 453-466 466-484 484-507 507-511 511-531 * 531-548 548-549 549-554 554-567 567-572 572-586 586-601 601-603 603-610 610-612 612-621 621 621-631 631-636 636-640 640-642 642-653 653-672 672-680 680-687 687-702 702-709 709-711 (710)-713 713-720 Alarico I Ataúlfo Sigérico Walia Teodorico I Turismundo Teodorico II Eurico Alarico II Gesaleico Amalarico Theudis Theudisclo Agila I Atanagildo Liuva I Leovigildo Recaredo I Liuva II Witérico Gundemaro Sisebuto Recaredo II Suíntila Sisenando Khíntila Tulga Khindasvinto Recesvinto Wamba Ervigio Egica Witiza Rodrigo Agila II Ardo Alaric I Athaulf Sigeric Wallia Theodoric I Thorismund Theodoric II Euric Alaric II Gesalic Amalaric Theudis Theudegisel Agila I Athanagild Liuva I Leuvigild Reccared I Liuva II Witteric Gundemar Sisebut Reccared II Suinthila Sisenand Chintila Tulga Chindaswinth Reccaswinth Wamba Erwig Egica Witiza Roderic Agila II Ardo * = The Ostrogothic king Theodoric the Great was regent 511-52
