EmperorValens granted the Visigoths' request to take refuge from the Huns by settling in the lower Danube area of he Roman Empire in 376. They were taken to a holding camp with a Romangarrison. A famine struck and there was just enough food for the Romansoldiers, who did not share it. They were told to go to the distant city of Marcianople to find food at the market there. The Visigoths marched there and their weaker people lost their lives. They found the city gate closed and they were refused entry. The Romans unsuccessfully tried to kill their king at a banquet. At this point the rebellion broke out. It was thebeginningof the Gothic War, which lasted for six years (376-382) until peace was made.
