[gothic-l] Between the Two Last Gothic-Roman Wars

[Bertil Haggman]

Well, I think I will stick to Professor Hermodssons
version:

"Oestgoterna kunde nu frigoera sig, och deras styrka
var obruten" (The Ostrogoths could now free themselves
and their strength was unbroken).

> The Ostrogoths did not 'manage to free themselves'from the Huns. In
> fact, the evidence suggestst that the Goths remained either passive
> in the uprising of Gepids, Suevi, Eruli and others against the Huns,
> led by Ardaric the Gepidic king, or actively supported the Huns. If I
> remember correctly Ellak may have been the champion of the Goths.
> This is set out in an article by Walter Pohl, the reference for which
> I can supply later if desired.
