Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'visigoths'

The Visigoths were a Germanic people who played a significant role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire, famously sacking Rome in 410 CE under King Alaric I. They established a powerful kingdom spanning parts of modern France and Iberia during the 5th-7th centuries, developing a distinctive culture that blended Germanic traditions with Roman institutions and eventually converting from Arianism to Catholicism. In alternate history scenarios, Visigothic trajectories often explore the persistence of their kingdom, different religious developments, or alternative relationships with other post-Roman powers.
