Eurich

Eurich, also known as Euric, was a Visigothic king who ruled from 466 to 484 AD. He is notable for his role in the fall of the Roman Empire in the Western Roman Province. Eurich succeeded his brother, Theoderic the Great, as king of the Visigoths. Under his reign, the Visigoths continued to expand their territory, eventually controlling much of the Iberian Peninsula. Eurich's rule was marked by both military success and internal strife. He faced challenges from both internal rebellions and external threats, including the Huns and the Vandals. Despite these challenges, Eurich's reign saw the Visigoths establish a strong foothold in the region, which would later become the basis for the Visigothic Kingdom. Eurich's reign ended in 484 AD, and he was succeeded by his son, Alaric II. Eurich's legacy is one of military expansion and the establishment of a Visigothic kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula.
