Notes

Ermanaric is mentioned in two Roman sources; the comtemporary writings of Ammianus Marcellinus and in Getica by the 6th century historian Jordanes. death at an extreme old age is given for Ermanaric by Jordanes, however it is likely that the age he mentions is a mistake of lumping together father and son. Ermaneric's son was named Jormenrik and it is possible that the similarity between the two names gave the historian a bit of trouble with identification.
