Dunno ... just a matter of carless formulation. I should have 
said 'just as true'. But then again, for Odoacer we know that he had 
a son who was killed with him and Alaric might have had a daughter 
who married Ataulf, but I think not much more is known about his. For 
some of the late Roman emperors we might have a little bit more 
information.
