Narrative

Name Prefix:<NPFX> King
Name Suffix:<NSFX> Of The Visigoths
"King of the Visigoths 507-531
At the death of his father, the weak king Alaric II, in battle with Clovis I, King of the Franks, Amalaric became king. He went on to make peace with Clovis and married his daughter Chrotilda. As his wife was a Catholic, and himself an Arian, he mistreated her very badly. In 531, she wrote to her brother Childebert I, King of Paris, and Amalaric was killed. "
-----------------
"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. He married Clotilda, daughter of Clovis; but his disputes with her, he being an Arian and she a Catholic, brought on him the penalty of a Frankish invasion, in which he lost his life in 531.
