Radagaisus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radagaisus (d. 406) was a barbarian leader of unknown origins, who led a vast collection of Germanic tribes (including Goths, Vandals, Suevi, Burgundians and Alans) on an invasion of Italy in late 405 and early 406.
Radagaisus was captured and killed by Stilicho near Faesulae, and his forces were incorporated into the Roman army. Stilicho was assisted in this engagement by a body of Alans, and by Huns under the independent Hunnic king Uldin.
