Hi there,

I'm no expert, but found these references:
http://books.google.com/books?id=xsQxcJvaLjAC&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69&dq=high+judge+goths&source=bl&ots=cWwmE3QjO2&sig=KS0JsKt-1F76KsAPNC3FQTmQzW0&hl=en&ei=Ii8uToveO87dgQf649ylAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=judge&f=false

I think it may help you understand the judgeship of the Goths.

I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me.

I think I am right in stating that the Danubian Goths had no King.  They had 
instead a high-judge.

My guess is that this position was not hereditary, and when one judge stepped 
down or died, another was chosen.

My question is, can someone either tell me or direct me to some source, that 
would explain how were they chosen, and what was the process of selection and 
confirmation?

Thank you guys very much.

Tom
