Amali and Balthi?
What evidence is there that Sigeric was an Amal? For that matter, what evidence is there that Ataulf and Wallia were Balthi? Ataulf was Alaric's brother-in-law, but he is also specifically called an Ostrogoth.
To my knowledge, the only Amals among the Visigoths were Beremund and his son Veteric, who joined them after 418.
Most of this article looks like someone's original conjecture. --Abou 22:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Nah I don't think it's conjecture ... it looks more like Gibbon to me. Until recently there was a lot of fast and loose anachronistic talk of Ostrogoths and Visigoths, Balts and Amals ... Heather 2005 and Kulikowski 2006 seem to be the more modern orthodoxy. --Jmullaly (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
