Can that have been the same Theodoric ll twice? The time span for him seems a bit long. You’ve transposed a couple of digits in Thorismund’s dates, I think. And what happened to Reccimer? Brittanica (11th Ed.) lists him between Swintella and Sisenand (of course spelling differs from source to source) and the same years as Swintella.
Thanks for spotting those problems, Robert. I have corrected all three.
1. The regent for Amalaric was Theoderic the Great, the Ostrogoth, not Theoderic II, the Visigoth.
2. Thorismund now listed as 451-453.
3. Reciter added in parallel to Suinthila.
Thanks, Steven, for the clarifications. I apologize for the delayed response; I didn’t realize until this evening that you responded almost three weeks ago.
