Ostgoten#

Ostrogoths, branch of a Germanic people, the Goths, who, pushed westwards by the invading Huns, moved from the Ukraine, crossed the Danube in 405 under King Ragais and settled in Pannonia. Those Ostrogoths who had remained under Hunnic rule participated in the Battle of the Catalonian Plains in 451. In 454 the Ostrogoths separated from the Huns and converted to Arianism; King Thiudimir's realm extended around lake "Pelsois" (Lake Neusiedl or Lake Balaton). Under King Theodoric (the commander of the army of Eastern Roman emperor Zeno) the Ostrogoths invaded Italy in 488 and defeated Odoacer. Theodoric's ("Dietrich von Bern" in German epics) kingdom, which continued in existence until 553, also included the Alpine part of present-day Austria.
