*often referred to as theodoric*
.
‘theoderic the great’ was
king of the ostrogoths (475–526),
ruler of Italy (493–526),
regent of the Visigoths (511–526),
and a patricius of the ‘roman empire’)
.
(his Gothic name Þiudareiks translates into “people-king” or “ruler of the people”)
(Theodoric was born in Pannonia in 454, after his people had defeated the Huns at the “Battle of Nedao”)
(his father was King Theodemir, a Germanic Amali nobleman, and his mother was ‘Ereleuva’)
(Theodoric from the age of ten to eighteen grew up as a hostage in Constantinople, received a privileged education under imperial direction, and succeeded his father as leader of the Pannonian Ostrogoths in 473)
(settling his people in lower Moesia, Theoderic came into conflict with Thracian Ostrogoths led by Theodoric Strabo, whom he eventually supplanted, uniting the peoples in 484)
(‘Emperor Zeno’ subsequently gave him the title of Patrician, Vir gloriosus, and the office of Magister militum (master of the soldiers), and even appointed him as ‘Roman Consul’)
(seeking further gains, Theoderic frequently ravaged the provinces of the Eastern Roman Empire, eventually threatening Constantinople itself)
(in 488, ‘Emperor Zeno’ ordered Theoderic to overthrow the German Foederatus ‘Odoacer’, who had likewise been made patrician and even King of Italy, but who had since betrayed Zeno, supporting the rebellious Leontius)
(after a victorious three-year war, Theoderic killed Odoacer with his own hands while they shared a meal, settled his 200,000 to 250,000 people in Italy, and founded an Ostrogothic Kingdom based in Ravenna)
.
*30 SEPTEMBER 489*
“battle of verona”
(the ‘ostrogoths’ under “king theoderic the great” defeat the forces of ‘odoacer’ for the second time at ‘verona’ (‘northern italy’))
(while he promoted separation between the ‘arian ostrogoths’ and the roman population, ‘theoderic’ stressed the importance of ‘racial harmony’, though ‘inter-marriage’ was outlawed)
(seeking to restore the glory of ‘ancient rome’, he ruled ‘italy’ in its most ‘peaceful’ + ‘prosperous’ period since ‘valentinian’, until his death in ‘526’)
.
(memories of his reign made him a hero of ‘german legend’ as ‘dietrich von bern’)
