Galla Placidia bears Ataulf a son, Theodosius,…

415 CE

Galla Placidia bears Ataulf a son, Theodosius, but his death in infancy destroys an opportunity for a possible Romano-Visigothic rapprochement.

Following Ataulf’s assassination at Barcelona later in the year while taking a bath, Sigeric succeeds him, but after a reign for seven days he is also murdered.

A new treaty with Rome, negotiated by Ataulf's successor Wallia, results in the widowed Placidia's return, with hostages, and a pledge by the Visigoths, in exchange for a supply of six hundred thousand measures of grain, to attack the Suebi, Alans and Vandals in Spain.
