Encyclopedic overview
Theodoric II (c. 422 – early 466) was king of the Aquitanian Goths between 453 and 466. From his reign it is known that he was a faithful ally of the Romans in the beginning. His Gothic warriors frequently took action as auxiliary forces of the Roman army. Especially with the Roman emperor Avitus he was on good terms, but after the death of Avitus in 456 his attitude changed and he behaved more and more independently.
Supporter of Emperor Avitus
