The Visigoths were a Germanic people (the western branch of the Goths) who initially settled outside the boundaries of the Roman Empire, in the area of ​​modern Ukraine. They occupied Dacia (Romania), north of the Danube, which had been abandoned by Rome. They entered the Roman Empire, south of the Danube because of the pressure of the Huns and with the consent of Rome. They revealed the Roman Empire came to control the Balkans, Greece and sacked Rome for the first time in history. And transported to Gaul where they founded the kingdom Visigoth of Toulouse that begins around the year 410 and was more or less dependent on Rome until the final fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476. It continued its independent existence until about 511 in which he was defeated by the Franks.

The Visigoths were forced to retreat to Hispania leading the Visigoth Kingdom of Toledo which exist until 711, year in which the Muslims begin their conquest of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Visigoths used the brass as a language but initially were Arianism, a heresy to Christians and established different laws for Visigoths (Code of Eurico) and other than (Code Alaric II) for Hispano and Gallo-Roman. Eventually they accepted the conversion to Catholicism of King Recaredo I and the Chindasvinto Recesvinto kings and common law was created: the Law I judge, definitely eliminated the difference between them and other subjects.
