Theoderic the Great
In AD 515 Eutharic answered a summons by Theoderic the Great and moved to the Ostrogothic court at Ravenna. Here he was given Amalasuintha in marriage. It was Theoderic's intention that this union would create a long-lasting dynastic connection between the previously sundered Ostrogoths and Visigoths. Theoderic also named Eutharic his presumptive heir.
