OverviewAI-generated

Wallia was a male ruler who held the position of king of the Wisigoths. He was a member of the Balti dynasty and the son of Athanaric. His citizenship was with the Western Roman Empire. Wallia died in Toulouse, with records indicating a date of death in either 418 or 419. He is described in sources such as the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie and the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary.

The name Wallia is distinct from the term wali. While historical records identify him as a political leader, other entries for the name C. J. Wallia list authorship of works including "Hands on Mac Pagemaker 3.0" and "Hands on Word 4.0 for the MacIntosh." These modern publications are separate from the historical figure’s biography.
