There were the Visigoths (Goths of the west) and Ostrogoths (goths of the east). They were a Germanic people which means that they were part of the linguistic family which gave rise to German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English.
They originated from southern Sweden or the Polish coast.
The were allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the empire by emperor Valens. Later, King Alaric I had disputes with emperor Honorius and besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion he sacked it. He then went to Calabria (the toe of Italy) and died. It has been suggested that he wanted to go to Africa to disrupt food supplies. His successor moved to southwestern France. He helped the emperor to defeat a usurper in Gaul. He was granted land. He fought with the forces who defeated the Hun's attempt to invade Gaul.
The Visigoths also expanded into Spain. The Franks pushed then out of Gaul. They became the Spanish aristocracy. The Visigothic kingdom in Spain lasted until Spain was conquered by the Moors.

∙ 7y agoThe Visigoths were the Goths of the west. The Goths migrated through eastern Europe from Scandinavian and eventually reached Ukraine. Some of the Goths asked the Romans to be allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the Huns, who were conquering their homeland. This was granted. They then were called Visigoths, the western branch. The other Goths were overrun by the Huns and were under their rule from about 75 years. They came to be known as the Ostrogoths (Goths of the east). Alaric I, a king of the Visigoths had a dispute with Roman emperor in the west (Honorius) and besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion he sacked it. His successor, Ataulf, took the Visigoths to south-western France.
