The Visigoths from the 4th until the 6th century
• The Visigoths were Germanic people from the Eastern Europe
• They moved to the Roman Empire in 376 to escape from the Huns, who were Barbarian people from Asia.
• The Visigoths attacked Rome in 410. As a result, the Emperor Honorius made a deal with them:If they expelled other Germanic peoples from Spain (the Suevi, the Vandals and the Alans), they would received lands in the south of France.
• After defeating Vandals and Alans – the Suevi remained in Galicia and Portugal – the Visigoths founded a kingdom which took place in the south of France in 418. When the Western Roman Empire disappeared in 476, they also extended their lands to Spain.
