   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Theodoric I

King of the Visigoths 418–51, and son of Alaric I.

He succeeded Wallia, and fought the Romans from 425 to 440, defeating them at Toulouse in 439, soon afterwards concluding peace with them. Then, joining with Aetius, the Roman general, against Attila the Hun in 450, he was killed in the battle of Chalons in 451. Theodoric II, his second son, became king of the Visigoths (452–66), after murdering the elder, Thorismond, and ruled over most of Spain and Gaul. He was assassinated by his brother, Euric.
