Reiks at war

[the_lothian]

Greetings,

I am so glad I found this site.  I am in the process of writing a 
historical novel set during the reign of Constantina I.  My goal is 
to make it as historically accurate as  possible.  In line with that, 
I know that the Goths had Reiks, which I think were similar to tribal 
chiefs.  I know that when the Goths went to war the war-chiefs 
carried the title of Draughtin.

My question is, did Draughtin replace Reik as the title or was it 
added to the title?

In example:
Would Reik Larry become Draughtin Larry when they went to war, or 
would he become Draughtin-Reik Larry, (like Governor-General) at war.

Is there anyone reading these who can help?

Thanks,

Tom
