Notes

acceded to the throne of the Visgothic kingdom by election. Some late

medieval genealogies show them as sons of AMALARIC (RIN 2465*), but

that is probably wrong.

Subject: Re: Visighotic chiefs

. "I was once interested in this matter because there are a few

Brazilian families who trace (according to Portuguese lineage books) to

the late Visigothic kings. So I wrote to H. Wolfram, and he answered me

back - very kindly, in Spanish; Portuguese and Spanish are very close and

mutually understandable - as follows:

. 1) Both the Amali (Amelunge), Theodoric's family, and the Balthi (the

first Visigothic king's family) seem to be fully extinguished, or at least

of untraceable descendants.

. 2) Leowegild was most certainly a `new man' (homo nouus) and his

name is unrelated to those of earlier Balthi or Amali.

. So I think that it stops at him. It is far enough.
