What is Alaric from ancient Rome?

Alaric I was the king of the Visigoths, a Germanic people. The Visigoths had been allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire by the emperor Valens in 376. In 394 Alaric provided troops for the forces of emperor Theodosius I which defeated an attempt at usurpation in Italy. After this he led a rebellion by the Visigoths, attacked Greece and destroyed several cities there. He then got into a dispute with the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, Honorius. He tried to invade Italy, but was defeated by Stilicho, the general of the armies of the western part of the Roman Empire. Stilicho and Alaric then reached an amicable agreement, but Stilicho was betrayed and murdered. Alaric's disputes with Honorius continued and he besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion (in 410) he also sacked the city. He then went to Calabria (the toe of Italy) before the Roman armies could be mobilised from around the empire and march on Rome. He wanted to sail to Africa, the breadbasket of the empire, to hold Honorius at ransom, but he died. His successor, Ataulf, his brother-in-law, moved the Visigoths to southwestern France.
