Now by the warrs above described the western empire of the
Romans, was
\about the time that Rome was besieged & taken by the Goths, became/ broken into the following ten kingdoms.
• 1 The kingdoms |e| of the Vandals & Alans in Spain & Afric
• 2 The kingdom of the Su\e/vians in Spain
• 2 |3| The kingdom of the Visigoths.
• 4 The kingdom of the Alans in Gallia.
• 5 The kingdom of the Burgundians.
6 The kingdom of the Franks.
7 The kingdom of the Burgundians Britains.
• 8 The kingdom of the Hunns.
9 The kingdom of the Lombards
10 The kingdom of Ravenna.
Seven of these kingdoms are thus mentioned by Sigonius. 1
\1/
Honorio reg-
nante, in Pannoniam 2 Hunni, in Hispaniam 3 Vandali, 4 Alani, 5 Suevi &
6 Gothi, in Galliam 4 Alani 7 Burgundiones et 6 Gothi, certis sedibus permis-
sis, accepti
. Add the Franks, Britains, & Lombards, & you have the th
|e|n.
For these arose about the same time with the ten seven. But let us view
them severally.
1. The kings of the Vandals were, A.C. 406

426 Geiseric, 477 Hunneric, 484 Gundemund, 496 Thrasamund, 523 Geiseric,

|0| Gelimer. Godegesilus led them into Gallia A.C. 406, Gunderic into Spain
A.C. 409. Geiseric into Afric\a/ A.C. 427, & Gelimer was conquered by Be
lisarius A.C. 533. Their kingdom lasted in Gallia, Spain & Afric|a| together
126 years; & in Afric|a| they were very potent. The Alans had only two
kings of their own in Spain, Resplendial, & Ataces, Vtacus or Othacar.
Vnder Resplendial they went into France A.C. 407, & into Spain A.C. 409.
And Ataces was slain with almost all his army by Vallia king of the Visi-
goths A.C. 419. And then the remainder of these Alans subjected them-
selves to Gunderic king of the Vandals in Bœtica, & went afterwards
with them into Africa, as I learn out of Procopius. And
t
|W|hence the kings
of the Vandals sti
|y|led themselves kings of the Vandals & Alans; as may
be seen in the Edict of Hunneric recited by Victor in his Vandalic per
secution. In conjunction with the 3
|[|Chatti, these Alans gave the name of
Cathalaunia, or Catth-Alania, to the Province which is still so called.
These Alans had also Gepides among them; & therefore the Gepides
came into Pannonia before the Alans left it. There they became
subject to the Hunns till the death of Attila A.C. 454, & at length
were conquered by the Ostrogoths.
2. The kings of the Suevians were A.C. 40
[6]
6 Alaric
406
\407/ Er-
meric, 483 Rechila, 448 Rechiarius, 458 Maldra, 460 Frumarius,
463 Regismund. And after some other kings \who/ are unknown, reigned
A.C. 558 Theodemir, 568 Miro, 582 Euboricus, & 583 Andeca. This
kingdom, after it had been once seated in Spain, remained always in
Gallæcia & Lusitania. Ermeric after the fall of the Alan kingdom,
enlarged it into all Gallicia, forcing the Vandals to retire into Bœtica &
the Carthaginensian Province. This kingdom after it had been once
seated lasted 177 years according to Isidorus, & then was subdued by Leo-
vigildus king of the Visigoths, & made a Province of his kingdom A.C. 585.
3. The kings of the Visigoths were A.C. 400 Alaric, 410 Athaulphus,
415 Sergeric & Vallia, 419 Theoderic, 451 Thorismund, 452 Theoderic,
