The Creation of Visigothic Spain

I’m a granddaughter of Erwig, what does that mean? I’m trying to find out more about him

I told some Swedes of the Visigoths came to Spain and they could not believe it

Last name Rodriguez...made me search up the history. Now im here 😅

The Roman Empire is how we know anything about it ALL. It's hard to define everything about the populations of Spain, what all are and all of the different types, until the medieval periods. Vandal Haus before Al Andalus, but with an evolution in between before became Al Andalus.

Congratulations! 👏🏻 great video. The official foundation of Spain as a united "nation" "of that time" was the theird council of Toledo (589 AD).

I'm currently trying to get more info on King Egica. According to my DNA, Egica, (according to results) is my 20th Great Grandfather. Obviously it'll take a lot more looking into, but for now it's kind of cool...or not (they were brutal).

i feel like i am connected to these people one of my moms grandmothers last names was Gonzalez and my grandmothers last name is perez

The Negroes now know they were the Original Sephardic Jews exiled to West-Central Africa 🌍 and then sent into Slavery

This guy has the nicest voice. I wish he put more content out there.

Wait what? The goths originally migrated to Aquitania not Iberia, they spreaded their kingdom from modern western southern France into modern Spain and Portugal. They were actually given the lands of Aquitania after they helped to defeat the huns, a battle in which they fought some of their own people, the taifals (genitacally close and they also settled with goths when they conquered Thrace, which were the taifals / goths in Attila's army) also on their side incorporated in their army and that also moved with them in Aquitania. The seat of the wisigothic kingdom was actually Tolosa (Toulouse) before the franks forced the wisigothic nobility to give up Aquitania. But many goths stayed in southern France or migrated to Britanny (northen western France), some into Iberia but they had already settled there. But most wisigoths were concentrated in modern southern France. And yes genetic studies point out that the goths originated from Sweden, more specifically from the islands of Gotland and Öland, hence the Goth name, which could have also formed the word Catalunya which was roman Septimania, called Gothia in the Carolingian Empire (which included Languedoc or a part of modern Occitania), and the Carolingian kings of Aquitania were called kings of the goths when kings of Francia were kings of the franks. The wisigoths formed and administrated Oc languages, or galo-roman vulgar latin which is occitan and catalan, but they also formed occitan and catalan populations. There's very slight genetical differences between the two, occitans and catalans also shared a common culture, language and history for a very long time, up to the 13th century. The county of Toulouse and most of Aquitania (southern France) should have became part of the kingdom of Arragon if not for the albigensian crusade. Raymond of Toulouse was the vassal of Arragon, married his heir daughter to the king and the kingdom of Arragon had lands in Provence, they were almost the same entity.

Háils Alareiks! Mikil reiks weisigutis.

Hola thanks so much for correctly explaining the Visigoth, I like to ad they created the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA their symbols adorn the House of Representatives of the USA saludos to Rodriguez the Visigoth

Goths of today only listen to Gothic metal not related to the original Gothic medieval music.

I love the Scandinavian Hispanic Petri dish of the Visigoths

The background music is distracting, especially since the music is not titled and it sounds extremely familiar. I'm pretty sure I'm hearing Danheim's "Ivar's Revenge". I don't think it would've hurt to credit him...!

Other than that, I'm 6 minutes in and the content is very well explained (putting the names of the respective wars on screen would've been an added bonus), so I subscribed already. Now, I'll go back to watching. But I can already tell, I'm defo looking forward to exploring more videos!

Short and sweet perfect!!!

thank you for your work. perfect length video for my 9 & 10yr old.
