The Barbarian Invaders of Germania: Goths, Visigoths and Ostrogoths - Historical Curiosities

Because Tatars came later and mixed with the earlier Goths. So autosomally mixed by the 18th century. Goths are not Tatars. Its how you interpret the data correctly that's important and time frames should count. Tatars and Goths are NOT the same timeline.

You see that place in Spain with no visigoths? That is the suebic kingdom, first of the gothic kingdoms inside of the roman empire and considered by some the first oficial feudal kingdom. Should have been mentioned. Huuuuge influential legacy in Galicia-Northern Portugal, half of town names have suevic origins and a lot of surnames in this are still suevic in origins. They even imported a new kind of cristianism (Arrianism) witch lasted in this area for centuries.

[@doylekitchen9795]

The Visigoths were also Arians. Most of the people in that region were Catholic of Roman influence. Only the Germanic leaders were Arian. Same with Visigothic Spain. The whole of Hispania was Catholic by the time of the Muslim invasion.

[@edstar83]

Not just Suebi and Visigoths but the Vandals, Buri, Alans also entered Hispania. Spaniards and Portuguese always bring up the Celts aka Celtiberians but forget our Germanic ancestors. Many typical Spanish surnames are Visigothic in origin. Fernandez, Alvarez, Gonzalez, Sanchez, Martinez, Gomez ect .. As a Spaniard of Galician heritage, today I'm Christian and speak Castilian aka Spanish instead of Arabic praying to Allah 20 times a day thanks to Visigothic Nobleman Don Pelayo. Valiant warrior King of the North. King of Asturias. Crowned KIng by the loyal men who fought alongside him. Seeder of the Reconquista and their descendants who continued forming small Christian Kingdoms in the North, fighting and resisting for 700 years. Generation to generation. (Instead of running away into France) slowly expanding until the whole of Iberia was free of the peaceful messengers of islam in 1492AD, when the remaining Christian Kingdoms united to become Spain. 🇪🇸 (Except for the Kingdom of Portugal 🇵🇹 because they're special but I still love them.) Muslims like to brag how they "ruled Iberia for 800 years. " But what they fail to mention is that the Reconquista pretty much started straight away. And that the tiny Christian Kingdoms of the North were not part of Al Andalus. They also fail to mention that by the 12th century (1100s) half of Hispania was back in Indo European Christian hands. And by the mid 13th century 96% of Hispania had been reconquered. They fail to mention that the islamic kingdom of Granada was allowed to remain as long as they paid tribute to the Kingdom of Castile. Until they made the mistake of attacking a Christian settlement in the late 15th century. Today the gates of Toledo have once again been opened into Europa and the West... *Reconquista II Intensifies* DEUS VULT!

Chlotilde the Burgundian princess who became Frankish King Clovis's Queen, who influenced his conversion and baptism as a Christian, is the Patron Saint of France. She descends from both Germanic military elite ruling clans, the Amal from the Eastern Ostrogoths tribe and the Balto, the Visigoth's kings both in Rome and in Hispania. The Goths apparently split into two entities in presumed King Alarics time. He's known for sacking Rome. What he wanted was foederated status with the Romans, and land to settle. Failing at that he plundered Rome, as a Christian left the temples alone, there were few deaths and no wholesale destruction. Alaric died I believe within the year in southern Italia of malaria at forty years of age.

Odoacer was not the king of visigoths both a hun who had became the king of ostrogoths. Theodoric killed odoacer and became the new king of the ostrogoths.

[@ekesandras1481]

Odoaker was of Skirian origin, another East Germanic tribe, that was subdued by the Huns. Therefor he grew up under Hunnic rule, but he himself and his family were not Huns. When the Hunnic realm started to desintegrate after Attila's death, Odoaker went into the Roman Empire and became part of the personal guard of Emperor Anthemius and later rising up the ranks up to becoming defacto ruler of the Western Roman Empire.

[@DougMickey]

[@ekesandras1481]

@@DougMickey that's a point of view, that is legit. But most scholars agree that the Skirs (Sciri) were an Eastern Germanic tribe and not Sarmatian/Persian, nor Hunnic or anything else. They were also not the only Germanic tribe temporarily under Hunnic rule. The same is true for the Gepids, Heruli, Rugii, etc.

[@DougMickey]

@@ekesandras1481 alright. I don't really know about the Sciri. Maybe they were Germanic. But Edeko is definitely a hunnic name. It even makes sense that Odoacer was a hun considering Theodoric personally killed him for not being Germanic while ruling over a Germanic people and the kingdom of Italy. None of the Ostrogoths seemed to be bothered by this and even made Theodoric their new king.

[@ekesandras1481]

@@DougMickey the interesting thing at that time is, that there was no such thing as Germanic solidarity. They killed each other without hesitation: Goths against Vandals, Visigoths against Ostrogoths, Langobards against Goths or Franks, Gepids against Langobards, etc. Their loyalty was based on personal relationships, loyalty oaths, tribal structures, but not on ethnicity or national thinking.

We can look at their indents on their skeletons to see that they were very strong and athletic but they probably weren't hulking. Roman historians described them as tall, lean and athletic. One Roman historian went as far as to say they looked like wasps. Pinch at the waist. Whereas the italic people usually had a gut from too much wine drinking.

[@johnruge1218]

Bodybuilders, no. But they were large. My Uncle Henry Landau was a descendant of Theodoric the Great, he and his wife were traditionals, as were their forebears for many generations, married within the tribe, and he was proud to be 'the image' of Theodoric, as he looked like the woodcuts and contemporary sketches that were passed down. He was 6'6" and had hands the size of baseball gloves. And could pick me and my cousin up by the top of our heads. He also sported the Habsburg Jaw, a hereditary trait.

They originated near the Caucasus on the borders of the old Assyrian empire and were wandering around the same time Israel was taken captivity by the Assyrians.

There were no Germanic peoples. The primordial people in Europe were the Getae who stretched from the north of the Sea of ​​Azov to the Carpathian area and south of the Danube. Through the inflection of the name, Getii de vin Goths at the beginning of the 3rd century, due to the damnatio memoriae imposed by the emperor Caracalla who decreed the death penalty for the use of Getic derivatives. The Getae continue their history under the name of Goths, this representing the white page of our 1000-year history. ''' Until the time of Deceneu, the Goths were called Geti and were called by several names, being divided into several powers. The Ostrogoths, those from the east, the Visigoths from the west of Europe, in any case their main residence being Dacia actual Romania , which today we call Wallachia and Septem Casta (Transylvania). Nicolo Zeno, Italian historian 1557, in the "Books of the Getae " about the genealogy of the Getic people, from the biblical origins. And other authors describe the same historical realities. The Goths were the ancient Getae, with a modified name. They migrated to western Europe and northern Scandinavia and under the name Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths gave birth to other nations. Many documents. Excluding Germanic peoples, invented by Western historians, without roots in antiquity, in order to have an ancient ancestry. (The Goths did not conquer Dacia - actual Romania but returned to the motherland.)
