5th-century Germanic people

Odoacer ( – 15 March 493 AD), also spelled Odovacer or Odovacar, was a barbarian soldier and statesman from the Middle Danube who was an officer of the Roman army and deposed the Western Roman child emperor Romulus Augustulus to become the ruler of Italy (476–493). Odoacer's overthrow of Romulus Augustulus is traditionally understood as marking the end of the Western Roman Empire.

He probably competed with Rechimund, the Suevic war leader in Gallaecia, for the throne until his death.

Godegisel (? – 501) was a Burgundian sub-king and son of the Burgundian king Gondioc.

Onoulphus, also Onoulf, Unulf and Hunulf (died 493) was a military leader in the 5th century. His origins lay in the non Roman tribal groups led by Attila the Hun (died 453) in the Middle Danube region, but his career as a soldier brought him into the violent internal politics of the Roman empire during the period when the last Western Roman emperors lived and died.

Heremigar (also Heremigarius, Hermigarius or Hermegarius) ( 427–428) was a Suevic military leader operating in Lusitania in the early fifth century. He may have been a joint monarch with Hermeric or his successor, but no primary source directly attests it. Writing in the mid-seventh century, Fredegar calls Heremigarius rex Suaevorum, king of the Suevi.

Hunimund (395 – after 469) was a leader – variously described by Jordanes as dux and as rex – of a group of Suebi.

Suavegotha (died after 549), also known as Suavegotta or Suavegotho, was the daughter of the Burgundian king Sigismund and his Ostrogothic wife Ostrogotho. She was apparently married to Theuderic I, but scholars debate whether she was his first or second wife.

Carétène (also Caretena) (born died September 16, 506) was the wife of Gundobad, king of the Burgundians. Unlike her husband, who was an Arian, Carétène was a Catholic. She was probably the mother of Sigismund of Burgundy.
