Athanaric

Athanaricus (died 381) was king of several branches of the Thervings for at least two decades in the fourth century. Ironically, his Gothic name, Athanareiks, means "king for the year".A rival of Fritigern, another Therving war chief, Athanaric made his first appearance in recorded history in 369, when he engaged in battle with the Eastern Roman Emperor Valens and ultimately negotiated a favorable peace for his people.During his reign, the Thervings were divided by religious issues. Many of them had converted to Arian Christianity during the third and fourth centuries, but Athanaric continued to follow the old Germanic pagan religion. Fritigern, his rival, was an Arian and had the favor of Valens, who shared his religious beliefs.
