| The example of Alaric, to whom the sack of Rome had brought little lasting success, may have served as a warning. |
|
| In 397 Stilicho took another army to Greece but failed again to bring Alaric to battle and withdrew to Italy. |
|
| Honorius remained intransigent, however, and in 409 Alaric again surrounded Rome. |
|
| In 408, Alaric the Visigoth's price for raising the siege of Rome allegedly included more than 1,000 kilograms of pepper. |
|
| In the hopes of averting the outbreak of a new war, Kerstin, Alaric and their friends embark on a perilous journey to Uglessia. |
|
| Mr Gallagher said Mrs Gillard was then bombarded with flowers and chocolates and sackfuls of junk mail at the home she shared with her husband Alaric. |
|
| Kerstin is secretly in love with Alaric, while he, in turn, loves Redelle, one of the Uglessian students. |
|
| In this instalment, Kerstin and Alaric, her father's apprentice, enrol in the Freyan College of Wizards. |
|
| Why Alaric? The name refers to the Visigoth King Alaric II who fought some doughty battles against the Franks in the 5th century. |
|
| In 422, after the destruction wrought by Alaric and the Goths in 410, a church was built on the remains of Sabine's home. |
|
| Various abridgements were made of it in the early middle ages, the most widely disseminated of which was the so-called Breviary of Alaric or Lex Romana Visigothorum. |
|
| In the painting of Maurice Alaric, a local boy, Newton captures the restlessness and self-absorption of youth. |
|
| I will play for you from my mellophone, Alaric, as I do sometimes. |
|
| The origins of the Roquenégade estate, niched at the foot of Mount Alaric, go back at least as far as the 12th Century. |
|
| Ironically, Ostia was to play a major part in the downfall of Rome when Alaric the Goth captured Ostia in AD 409 knowing that this would starve Rome of much needed food. |
|
| Then populated by the Visigoths, Aquitaine joined the Franc kingdom after the defeat of their king Alaric II in 507 against Clovis. |
|
| The story: Right from 498 or 499, Clovis went down to Bordeaux in order to fight Alaric II the king of the Visigoths, who controlled the regions between the Loire area and the Pyrenees. |
|
| Following this way, one can see the red and white signs of the GR 77 from place to place, as well as a descriptive notice of mount Alaric and its varied hiking paths. |
|
| The Gite, independant yet part of the house, is orientated to receive full sunlight all year round and over looks the vineyards and the Alaric Mountain. |
|
| With a Mediterranean climate, the Château de Cabriac is located on a series of hills orientated east-west at the foot of the north slope of the Alaric. |
|
|
|
| In 402, however, he withdrew most of these soldiers back to Italy to use against the rebellious West Gothic army of Alaric. |
|
| In 394 Alaric served as a leader of foederati under Theodosius I in the campaign which crushed the usurper Eugenius. |
|
| Goths attacked the emperor himself, but within a year Alaric was accepted as a leader of Theodosius's Gothic troops and this rebellion was over. |
|
| Alaric was disappointed in his hopes for promotion to magister militum after the battle of the Frigidus. |
|
| Rufinus, lacking adequate forces, enlisted Alaric and his men, and sent them to Thessaly to stave off Stilicho's threat, which they did. |
|
| With his position thus strengthened he declared Stilicho a public enemy, and he established Alaric as magister militum per Illyricum. |
|
| He may also have intended to give Alaric a senior official position and send him against the rebels in Gaul. |
|
| With promises of freedom, Alaric also recruited many of the slaves in Rome. |
|
| Late in the year Alaric sent bishops to express his readiness to leave Italia if Honorius would only grant his people a supply of grain. |
|
| The Senate in Rome, despite its loathing for Alaric, was now desperate enough to give him almost anything he wanted. |
|
| Indeed, Attalus's claim was a marker of threat to Honorius, and Alaric dethroned him after a few months. |
|
| Alaric then moved south, intending to sail to Africa, but his ships were wrecked in a storm and he shortly died of fever. |
|
| In 401 or 402 Stilicho faced wars with the Visigothic king Alaric and the Ostrogothic king Radagaisus. |
|
| Germans have had a fascination for Italy ever since the Noricum king Alaric sacked Rome and ended the Latin Roman Empire. |
|
| The sack of Rome by Alaric the Visigoth in 410 ce had enormous impact on the political structure and social climate of the Western world, for the Roman Empire had provided the basis of social cohesion for most of Europe. |
|
| Legend has it that Alaric was buried in the Busento River in Italy. |
|
| When Alaric died on the way home, his soldiers buried his body in the bed of the river Busento, to protect it from the furious vengeance of the Romans. |
|
| Alaric began his career under the Goth soldiers Gainas and later joined the Roman army. |
|
| Despite sacrificing around 10,000 of his men, Alaric received little recognition from the Emperor. |
|
| During Radagaisus' Italian invasion in 406, Alaric remained idle in Illyria. |
|
|
|
| Subsequently, around 30,000 Gothic soldiers defected to Alaric, and joined his march on Rome to avenge their murdered families. |
|
| Moving swiftly along Roman roads, Alaric sacked the cities of Aquileia and Cremona and ravaged the lands along the Adriatic Sea. |
|
| In addition, Alaric forced the Senate to liberate all 40,000 Gothic slaves in Rome. |
|
| Honorius, however, refused to appoint Alaric as the commander of the Western Roman Army, and in 409 the Visigoths again surrounded Rome. |
|
| Negotiations with Honorius broke down, and Alaric deposed Attalus in the summer of 410, and besieged Rome for the third time. |
|
| Alaric then crossed the Gulf of Corinth and marched with the plunder of Greece northward to Epirus. |
|
| It was probably in 401 that Alaric made his first invasion of Italy, originally with the intention to petition for a position closer to Rome. |
|
| Alaric cashiered his ineffectual puppet emperor after eleven months and again tried to reopen negotiations with Honorius. |
|
| In 397, Alaric was named military commander of the eastern Illyrian prefecture by Arcadius. |
|
| Both the Code of Euric and Breviary of Alaric borrowed heavily from the Theodosian Code. |
|
| Later in 409, the West Romans stationed ten thousand Huns in Italy and Dalmatia to fend off Alaric, who then abandoned plans to march on Rome. |
|
| Alaric the Visigoth included 3,000 pounds of pepper as part of the ransom he demanded from Rome when he besieged the city in 5th century. |
|
| Late in the year Alaric sent bishops to express his readiness to leave Italy if Honorius would only grant his people a supply of grain. |
|
| Early in spring, Alaric, probably desperate, invaded Italy, and he drove Honorius westward from Mediolanum, besieging him in Hasta Pompeia in Liguria. |
|
| Instead, Rufinus attempted to negotiate with Alaric in person, which only aroused suspicions in Constantinople that Rufinius was in league with the Goths. |
|
| From there Alaric escaped with difficulty, and not without some suspicion of connivance by Stilicho, who supposedly had again received orders to depart. |
|
| Early in spring, Alaric, probably desperate, invaded Italia, and he drove Honorius westward from Mediolanum, besieging him in Hasta Pompeia in Liguria. |
|
| A second invasion that same year also ended in defeat at the Battle of Verona, though Alaric forced the Roman Senate to pay a large subsidy to the Visigoths. |
|
| Alaric moved to Rome and captured Galla Placidia, sister of Honorius. |
|
| In 408, Western Emperor Flavius Honorius ordered the execution of Stilicho and his family, amid rumours that the general had made a deal with Alaric. |
|
|
|
| After spreading desolation through North Italy and striking terror into the citizens of Rome, Alaric was met by Stilicho at Pollentia, today in Piedmont. |
|
| Alaric became the friend and ally of his erstwhile opponent, Stilicho. |
|
| Stilicho paid Alaric four thousand pounds of gold nevertheless. |
|
| These negotiations might have succeeded had it not been for the influence of another Goth, Sarus, an Amali, and therefore hereditary enemy of Alaric and his house. |
|
| Alaric lifted his blockade after proclaiming Attalus Western Emperor. |
|
| In that year, the Visigoths' most famous king, Alaric I, took the throne. |
|
| Having abandoned a plan to occupy Sicily and North Africa after the destruction of his fleet in a storm, Alaric died as the Visigoths were marching northward. |
|
| In 391 Alaric, a Gothic leader, rebelled against Roman control. |
