Ermanaric

Ermanaric (Gothic: Aírmanareiks; Latin: Ermanaricus; Old English: Eormenric; Old Norse: Jörmunrekkr; died 376) was a Greuthungian Gothic King who before the Hunnic invasion evidently ruled an enormous area north of the Black Sea. Contemporary historian Ammianus Marcellinus recounts him as a "most warlike man" who "ruled over extensively wide and fertile regions". Late historian Jordanes describes him as a Gothic Alexander the Great who "ruled all the nations of Scythia and Germania as they were his own". Ermanaric appears frequently in Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon legend.
