Ataulf
Athaulf (also Athavulf, Atawulf, or Ataulf and Adolf, Latinized as Ataulphus) ( 37015 August 415) was king of the Visigoths from 411 to 415. During his reign, he transformed the Visigothic state from a tribal kingdom to a major political power of late antiquity.
Theodoric II
King of Visigoths
Thorismund
Thorismund (also Thorismod or Thorismud, as manuscripts of the chief source confusingly attest) ( 420–453), became king of the Visigoths after his father Theodoric I was killed in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (also called Battle of Châlons) in 451 CE. He was murdered in 453 and was succeeded by his brother Theodoric II.
Sigeric
Sigeric (? – 22 August 415) was a Visigoth king for seven days in 415 AD.
Theodahad
Theodahad, also known as Thiudahad (; 480 – December 536), initially ruled the Ostrogothic Kingdom jointly with his cousin Amalasuintha. She elevated him to co-monarch in late 534, following the death of her son, King Athalaric, likely seeking male support to legitimize her regency. However, seeking sole power, Theodahad betrayed Amalasuintha; he had her imprisoned and subsequently murdered around April 30, 535. His tenure as sole ruler proved short and tumultuous, ending with his deposition and death in December 536 while fleeing the forces of his successor, Witiges.
Amalaric
Amalaric (; Spanish and Portuguese: Amalarico; 502–531) was king of the Visigoths from 522 until his assassination. He was a son of king Alaric II and his first wife Theodegotha, daughter of Theodoric the Great.
Theudis
Theudis (Gothic: 𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌴𐌹𐍃, Þiudeis, Spanish: Teudis, Portuguese: Têudis), ( 480 – June 548) was king of the Visigoths in Hispania from 531 to 548.
Agila I
Visigothic King of Hispania and Septimania
Theudigisel
Theudigisel (or Theudegisel) (in Latin Theudigisclus and in Spanish, Galician and Portuguese Teudiselo, Teudigiselo, or Teudisclo), ( 500 – December 549) was king of the Visigoths in Hispania and Septimania (548–549). Some Visigothic king lists skip Theudigisel, as well as Agila I, going directly from Theudis to Athanagild.
