 The first mention of the Bavarians comes in the context of the Danubian kingdoms after Attila when Jordanes, the historian of the Goths, reported (Getica 280) that after the Battle of Bolia, the Ostrogoths attacked the Suebi by crossing the Danube when frozen, and went into a high Alpine area held by the confederates of the Suebi at this time, the Alemanni.
