Fishygods

• Visigoths: one of the two main branches of the Goths, the Ostrogoths being the other. Together these tribes were one of the loosely-termed "Germanic tribes" that disturbed the late Roman Empire. After the "fall" of the western Roman Empire, the Visigoths continued to play a major role in western European affairs for another 250 years. The Ostrogoths (who fought together with Attila) were defeated in 451 A.D. by Aetius and the Visigoths (king Theodorid ) in the battle of the Catalaunian Fields.
