1. ALARIC (-Bruttium, southern Italy end 410). First mentioned in 391 when he moved southwards into Greece, he suffered several military setbacks but succeeded in resettling the Goths in Macedonia[7]. He was elected in 395 as ALARIC King of the Visigoths. He entered the western part of the Roman Empire in 401, and by the end of the year had attacked Venetia and was threatening Milan. Alaric was defeated by the Romans in 402 at Pollenza, and in 403 at Verona, after which the Goths abandoned Italy and settled in Dalmatia and Pannonia[8]. King Alaric returned to Italy in 408, the Goths' attacks culminating in the sack of Rome in Aug 410[9]. Procopius records that Alaric died from illness[10].

King Alaric had [one child]:

a) [daughter. Her parentage and marriage are indicated by Wolfram who says that Walia was succeeded by “Theoderid, son or rather son-in-law of Alaric I”[12]. As, in another passage, Wolfram says that nothing is known about the earlier life of Theoderic[13], the basis for the latter being Alaric’s son is unknown. Wolfram quotes no primary source which corroborated his assertion that Theoderic was Alaric’s son-in-law. He cites Olympiodorus Thebæus in a footnote, but the passage in question makes no mention of any relationship between Theoderic and Alaric[14]. m THEODERIC, son of --- (-killed in battle near Troyes 451). He was elected to succeed in 418 on the death of King Walia as THEODERIC I King of the Visigoths.]
