Thorismund
Thorismund (also Thorismod or Thorismud, as manuscripts of our chief source confusingly attest) (c. 420–453), became king of the Visigoths after his father Theodoric was killed in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (also called Battle of Châlons) in 451 CE. He was murdered in 453 and was succeeded by his brother Theodoric II.
