Hello Tore,

Have you considered that they most likely would have joined their
Visigothic relatives. They were in  great need of reinforcements
fighting the Franks and later, when building their new state in Spain
 and also still preserving the southernmost part of their old
territory which stayed with them all the way till 711. The connections
between the two Gothic kingdoms were always intimate. The top echelon
would have got very good positions within the Visigothic state.

Kindly
Ingemar
