Everything about Amalaric totally explained
Amalaric, or in
Spanish and
Portuguese,
Amalarico, (
502 –
531) was a son of king
Alaric II and of Theodegotho, daughter of
Theodoric the Great and his first wife. Amalaric was himself king of the
Visigoths from
526 till he was assassinated in 531.
He was a child when his father fell in battle against
Clovis I, king of the
Franks, in
507.
Gesalec was chosen king and the child Amalaric was carried for safety into
Hispania. After Gesalec was killed in 511, the country and
Provence was thenceforth ruled by Amalaric's maternal grandfather,
Theodoric the Ostrogoth, acting through his vice regent,
Theudis, an Ostrogothic nobleman. In
522 the young Amalaric was proclaimed king, and four years later, on Theodoric's death, he assumed full royal power in Hispania and that part of
Languedoc called
Septimania, relinquishing
Provence to his cousin
Athalaric. He married
Chrotilda, daughter of
Clovis I; but his disputes with her, he being an
Arian and she a
Catholic, brought on him the penalty of a Frankish invasion by
Childebert I, king of
Paris. Amalaric was defeated at
Narbonne in 531 and retreated behind the walls of
Barcelona, where he was assassinated by his own troops.
