Option 1

 * Article title: Theodahad
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale, and was rated mid-importance on the projects important scale. I found this article after looking into Amalasuintha, who was a regent ruler before her son died and she became ruler after her sons death. She was only ruler shortly, because she chose to make Theodahad co-ruler. Both of the articles need a lot of improvement. The fall has been said to be due to his bad leadership and alleged assassination of Amalasuintha. It is said that Justinian 1 declared war on the Theodahad after he assassinated Amalasuintha, starting the Gothic Wars.

 * - Some Primary sources, I just need to get access to them and look at more. There were a few disserations also that gave a lot of backround in the fall of the ostrogoths.

Option 2

 * Article title:
 * Amalasulntha


 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is lacking a lot of material for a figure that was as big as she was. It is listed as low importance, but the end of her reign came with the downfall of the ostrogoths. Above I mention Theodahad, he was listed as having more importance than Amalasulntha and it made me think that she deserves more recognition. There are primary sources that mention her and also secondary sources about her. After talking with Dr. Jasper I have decide she would be the best choice for this project.
