History Discovery: Where did Visigoths Go?
The Visigoths were a Germanic people who played a significant role in the history of late antiquity. Here are some key points about them:
Origins: They first appeared in the Balkans as a Roman-allied barbarian military group under the command of Alaric I.
Contact with Rome: Their relationship with the Romans varied, sometimes forming treaties and at other times engaging in warfare.
Sack of Rome: Under Alaric’s leadership, the Visigoths famously sacked Rome in August 410.
Settlement in Gaul and Hispania: After their time in Rome, they were settled in southern Gaul and later extended their authority into Hispania (modern-day Spain and Portugal).
Conversion to Christianity: Around 589, they converted from Arian Christianity to Nicene Christianity, adopting the culture of their Hispano-Roman subjects.
Visigothic Code: They established the Visigothic Code, which unified the legal system for both the Visigothic and Hispano-Roman populations.
The Visigoths’ influence is evident in the cultural and architectural legacy they left behind, particularly in Spain where they established a significant kingdom. Their history is a fascinating blend of conflict, migration, and integration into the Roman world.

Boooooooo AI history videos.
Let me guess: many became Muslims and were Arabized, the ones from Aquitaine and Languedoc eventually became French, a handful led the formation of Asturias. One of them, known as "el Rubio" ("the Blond", can't remember his name right now) migrated to the Basque borderlands and founded the houses of Ayala and Salcedo, the latter is in my ancestry.
