Reviews
“Among the Visigothic kings discussed in this book we also find men devoted to theology, hagiography, law, astronomy, and poetry. Although the Visigoths tended towards the heretical Arian sect, many were devoted to their faith and sought to promote genuine reform in the Church…as Donalson aptly shows, the Visigothic kings were capable of seemingly opposite tendencies; the same men who could be ruthless in acquiring and maintaining power could show great appreciation for culture…a truly fascinating work.”

“Donaldson’s chronicle opens a corridor into Roman history that is seldom illuminated…his latest study explores the centuries that make up the annals of the Visigoths in Spain…his focus is on the five great leaders of the successive reigns.”
