Theodoric the Great was the king of Ostrogoths and ruler of the independent Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy from 493 to 526. As ruler of the combined Gothic realms, Theodoric controlled an empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Adriatic Sea.
Theodoric was born in 454 AD in Pannonia. He was the son of king Theodemir, a Germanic Amali nobleman, and his concubine Ereleuva. He kept good relations between Ostrogoths and Romans, maintained a Roman legal administration and oversaw a flourishing scholarly culture as well as overseeing a significant building program across Italy.
