The Visigoths were a group of people in the time of Charlemagne; members of a branch of the Goth people. The Visigoths invaded the Roman Empire between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD. They ruled what is now Spain until 711, when they were defeated and overruled by the Moors.

There were no Roman Visigoths. The Visigoths were a division of the Germanic people called Goths. The Visigoths were the western branch of the group as opposed to the Ostrogoths who were the eastern branch. These terms are rarely used today, as they are blanket terms for several tribes. The Visigoths sacked Rome under their leader, Alaric, in 410 and then migrated to Spain, Portugal and southern Gaul were they set up a kingdom.
