Agila I ( also Achila , Akhila , Aquila , or Agil ; Gothic : Agila ) , ( ? -- March 554 ) , was Visigothic King of Hispania and Septimania ( 549 -- 554 ) . Peter Heather notes that Agila ' s reign was during a period of civil war following the death of Amalaric , the last member of the old Visigothic dynasty , when ambitious Gothic nobles competed openly for the throne . Agila came to power after the assassination of Theudigisel , who had ruled for less than two years . However , opposition to his rule soon emerged . First was the revolt of the city of Córdoba , which Isidore of Seville suggests was due to local Roman Catholics objecting to his Arianism : in his account , Isidore mentions that Agila defiled the church of a local saint , Acisclus , by drenching the sepulcher `` with the blood of the enemy and of their pack - animals '' , and attributes the death of Agila ' s son in the conflict -- along with the majority of his army , and the royal treasury -- to `` the agency of the saints '' . Peter Heather lists several groups who revolted against Agila : a local dynast , Aspidius , established a hegemony in one mountainous region ; the landowners of Cantabria established a `` senate '' to govern their affairs ; and then there are the Sappi and Suani mentioned by John of Biclar . The most important rebel opposed to Agila was Athanagild , whose open revolt began in 551 , following Agila ' s defeat at Cordoba . The armies of Agila and Athanagild met at Seville , where Agila met a second defeat . At this point , a third party entered the war between these two : the Byzantine Empire . As Peter Heather writes , `` One of the two -- which is the subject of varying report -- summoned a Byzantine army , which duly arrived in southern ___MASK9___ in 552 . '' Heather understands Isidore ' s chronicle states that Athangild summoned the Byzantines , while Jordanes implies in his Getica that Agila had asked them for help . During this three - sided conflict King Agila was killed -- according to Isidore by his own people , who realized the destruction Agila ' s wars to retain power had caused , but `` fearing even more that Roman soldiers might invade ___MASK9___ on the pretext of giving help '' . Athanagild was then accepted as king . Theoderic the Great ( Th - d '  - rik '; ' 454  August 30 , 526 AD ), often referred to as Theodoric , was king of the Ostrogoths ( 475  526 ), ruler of ___MASK98___ ( 493  526 ), regent of the ___MASK33___ ( 511  526 ), and a patricius of the Roman Empire . His Gothic name " Þiudareiks " translates into " people - king " or " ruler of the people ". Gallia Narbonensis ( Latin for " ___MASK46___ of Narbonne ", from its chief settlement ) was a Roman province located in what is now Languedoc and Provence , in southern France . It was also known as Provincia Nostra (" our Province "), from its having been the first Roman province north of the Alps , and as Gallia Transalpina (" Transalpine ___MASK46___ "), distinguishing it from Cisalpine ___MASK46___ in northern Italy . It became a Roman province in the late 2nd century BC . Its boundaries were roughly defined by the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Cévennes and Alps to the north and west . The western region of Gallia Narbonensis was known as Septimania . Amalaric ( Gothic : Amalareiks ), or in Spanish and Portuguese , " Amalarico ", ( 502  531 ) was king of the ___MASK33___ from 511 until his death in battle in 531 . He was a son of king Alaric II and his first wife Theodegotha , daughter of Theoderic the Great . Alaric II ( August 507 )  from Gothic : * Alareiks II , also known as Alarik , Alarich , and Alarico in Spanish and Portuguese or Alaricus in Latin  succeeded his father Euric as king of the ___MASK33___ in Toulouse on December 28 , 484 . He established his capital at Aire - sur - l ' Adour (" Vicus Julii ") in Aquitaine . His dominions included not only the majority of Hispania ( excluding its northwestern corner ) but also Gallia Aquitania and the greater part of an as - yet undivided Gallia Narbonensis . Lusitania or Hispania Lusitana was an ancient Iberian Roman province including approximately all of modern ___MASK36___ south of the Douro river and part of modern ___MASK9___ ( the present autonomous community of Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca ). It was named after the Lusitani or Lusitanian people ( an Indo - European people ). Its capital was " Emerita Augusta " ( currently Mérida , ___MASK9___ ), and it was initially part of the Roman Republic province of Hispania Ulterior , before becoming a province of its own in the Roman Empire . Romans first came to the territory around the mid 2nd century BC . A war with Lusitanian tribes followed , from 155 to 139 BC . In 27 BC , the province was created .
