Talk:Euric

Euric's Iberian dominions
Euric's dominions in Iberia did not extend to the west (Luitania), which was under the control of Suevi kings. If I were more sure that this is so, I would have added it. Any Lusitanian thoughts? Wetman 14:12, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Riothamus
"Attempted invasion of Gaul by Riothamus"? What is the source for this claim? Both the eminent Roman jurist Sidonius Apollinaris and the historian Jordanes (himself a Goth) stated that Riothamus was answering the call of the Roman Emperor Anthemius, but Arvandus the Praetorian Prefect of Gaul (possibly seeking to emulate some predecessors and become Emperor himself) betrayed both by advising Euric of Riothamus's route. In central Gaul, Euric ambushed Riothamus, whose army, after hours of combat, eventually cut their way out and made their way east to the Roman post of Avallon in Burgundy, where they made their report. Arvandus was brought to trial for high treason, and Sidonius was appointed to judge the case, but being a friend of both Arvandus and Riothamus, he recused himself, became Arvandus's defence lawyer, and persuaded the replacement judge to commute the death sentence to life in exile.

Euric "formally declared" independence from Roman Empire - the proof
What is the document supporting that claim? By document I mean the text of the treaty and provisions it contains. Does it exist? What was the exact wording of the recognition of this independence as per that document? How do we know Euric was de jure a fully independent in the sense of breaking every subjugation to Rome, not honouring the suzerainty of Rome.

I see only a couple of links to external sources including Edward Gibbon but those either aren't related to the subject of this article such as Merovingian kings or (in the case of Gibbon) not based on actual documents. Scrutinizer798 (talk) 19:11, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Euric's death
What sources are there that back up the claim that Euric died on the 28th of December 484? Gregory of Tours in the historia francorum book II, 20, claims that he died in the 27th year of his reign (i.e. 494). He could be wrong, but are there any other sources that verify what's written on the page? Tim mick (talk) 07:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
