Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, the this Germanic tribe seized the opportunity to establish their presence in the power vacuum. Initially settling in southwestern Gaul, they later migrated into the Iberian Peninsula. This Kingdom in Iberia became a significant political entity, shaping the regional landscape. Their rule extended over diverse populations.
Their conversion from Arian Christianity to Nicene Christianity had profound implications.
