Alaric I, the king of the Visigoths, invaded Italy in 401 BC and was pushed back by Stilicho, the commander-in-chief of the western Roman army. Alaric then had a dispute with Honorius, the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, and invaded Italy three more times. He besieged Rome in 408 and 409. In 410 he sacked Rome. He then withdrew to Calabria (the toe of Italy) and died there in the same year. His brother-in-law took the Visigoths to southwestern France.

The Visigoths had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire (in the lower Danube areas) in 376 by the emperor Valens.
