Odoacer was the first barbarian king of Italy. His reign is commonly seen as marking the end of the Western Roman Empire.
Odoacer was a German warrior, the son of Medico (Edeco), and probably a member of the Sciri tribe. He became the first non-Roman King of Italy on 3rd September, 476 C.E, after defeating the last Roman king, Romulus Augustus. As a warrior, Odoacer had successfully conquered regions like Dalmatia, Sicily, regions near the Danube, etc.
