<p>I can only imagine how the Ostrogothic warriors felt - without a<br>
homeland, defeated, hated and feared across southern Europe - I can't<br>
envision any particular place they would want to go. However, I would<br>
guess that they would be more inclined to venture north than back<br>
east, which would make sense if some were absorbed into the Franks.<br>
I'm not sure - would their shattered honor play a role in where they<br>
chose to settle?<br>
