 He established his court in Toulouse, which became the Visigothic capital for the rest of the fifth century.In 418 he honored the alliance by invading Hispania, where his army destroyed the Siling Vandals and so reduced the numbers of Alans living there that the survivors placed themselves under the rule of Gunderic, king of the Asding Vandals.Some historical sources say that he was related to Alaric only by marriage.
