Crimean Goths were those
Gothic tribes who remained in the lands around the
Black Sea, especially in
Crimea. They were the least-powerful, least-known, and paradoxically longest-lasting of the Gothic communities.According to Herwig Wolfram, following
Jordanes, the
Ostrogoths had a huge kingdom north of the Black Sea in the fourth century, which the
Huns overwhelmed in the time of the Gothic king
Ermanaric (or Hermanric; i.e. "king of noble men") when the Huns migrated to the Russian steppe. The Ostrogoths became
vassals of the Huns until the death of
Attila when they revolted and regained independence. Like the Huns, the Goths in the Crimea never regained their lost glory.
