Years: 466 - 466
King Theodoric II is killed by his younger brother Euric, who succeeds him on the throne.
Upon becoming king, Euric defeats several other Visigothic kings and chieftains in a series of civil wars and soon became the first ruler of a truly unified Visigothic nation.
Euric sends an embassy to the Eastern Roman Empire for recognition of the Visigoth sovereignty, and forms an alliance with the Suebi and the Vandals.
With his capital at Toulouse, Euric inherits a large portion of the Visigothic possessions in the Aquitaine region of Gaul, an area that has been under Visigothic control since 415.
