Name Vinitharius "the Just" Warlord of the Ostrogoths    
  • Turton begins with Winithar and does not recognize the generations before. The exact lineage before him is suspect; however, it seems likely they did descend from the early Goth kings, as heredity was important. Turton does state, "Stokvis, Vol. III, 692, says that Ermaniric (d. 376), great-Uncle and predecessor of Winithar, ruled over the whole country from the Baltic to the Black Sea." This supports the idea that Winithar did descend from the early kings. Sources: Magna Charta/Plantagenet Ancestors/Funk & Wagnals. Conquered the Vanadi-Slavs, succeeded Hunimund as King of the Ostrogoths. Was conquered by the Huns under Balamir.
