"Amalaric (d. 531), king of the Visigoths, son of Alaric II, was a child when his father fell in battle against Clovis?, king of the Franks (507). He was carried for safety into Spain, which country and Provence? were thenceforth ruled by his maternal grandfather, Theodoric? the Ostrogoth, acting through his vice-regent, an Ostrogothic nobleman named Theudis. In 522 the young Amalaric was proclaimed king, and four years later, on Theodoric's death, he assumed full royal power in Spain and a part of Languedoc?, relinquishing Provence to his cousin Athalaric.
