  1. 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.
