Information about Theodoric Ii

For the king of the Franks of the same name, see .
Theodoric II (in Spanish and Portuguese Teodorico) murdered his older brother Thorismund to become king of the Visigoths in 453. Edward Gibbon writes that "he justified this atrocious deed by the design which his predecessor had formed of violating his alliance with the empire." During Theodoric's reign the Kingdom of the Visigoths, centered in what is now Aquitaine, continued to be a federate of the western Roman Empire. In 462 the empire ceded Septimania to Theodoric.

Theodoric was himself murdered in 466 by his younger brother Euric, who succeeded him to the throne.
