Amalaric

Amalaric was a Visigoth King of Spain. de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.23
== Biography ==
Amalaric married the Frankish Princess Clotilde, sister of King Childebert. 
Clotilde, while devoted to her husband, disapproved of Amalaric's excesses and was mistreated by him for not converting to Arianism, culminating in him blinding her. de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.24
Clotilde sent a blood-stained handkerchief to her brother, who then led an army against Amalaric. When Amalaric went to fight against him, he was shot with an arrow from an unknown source before the battle. 
== Legends ==
Some chroniclers claim that it was the devil who shot him. De Plancy disagrees with this, since the arrow did not come from below, and instead implies that it was a heavenly hand that fired the arrow. This is one of the many examples of de Plancy's pro-French, pro-Catholic bias.
