in the years 417 and 418, overthrowing the Alans and part of the Vandals.  Then they received Aquitain of the Emperor by a full donation, leaving their conquests in Spain to the Emperor:  and thereby the seats of the conquered Alans came into the hands of the Romans.  In the year 455, Theoderic, assisted by the Burgundians, invaded Spain, which was then almost all subject to the Suevians, and took a part of it from them.  A.C. 506, the Goths were driven out of Gallia by the Franks.  A.C. 585, they conquered the Suevian kingdom, and became Lords of all Spain.  A.C. 713, the Saracens invaded them, but in time they recovered their dominions, and have reigned in Spain ever since.

4.  The Kings of the Alans in Gallia were Goar, Sambida, Eocharic, Sangibanus, Beurgus, &c.  Under Goar they invaded Gallia A.C. 407, and had seats given them near the Rhine, A.C. 412.  Under Sambida, whom Bucher makes the successor, if not the son of Goar, they had the territories of Valence given them by AEtius the Emperor’s General, A.C. 440.  Under Eocharic they conquered a region of the rebelling Galli Arborici, given them also by AEtius.  This region was from them named Alenconium, quasi Alanorum conventus.  Under Sangibanus they were invaded, and their regal city Orleans was besieged by Attila King of the Hunns, with a vast army of 500000 men. AEtius and the Barbarian Kings of Gallia came to raise the siege, and beat the Hunns in a very memorable battle, A.C. 451, in campis Catalaunicis, so called from these Alans mixt with the Chatti.  The region is now called Campania or Champagne.  In that battle were slain on both sides 162000 men.  A year or two after, Attila returned with an immense army to conquer this kingdom, but was again beaten by them and the Visigoths together in a battle of three days continuance, with a slaughter almost as great as the former.  Under Beurgus, or Biorgor, they infested Gallia round about, till the reign of Maximus the Emperor; and then they passed the Alps in winter, and came into Liguria, but were there beaten, and Beurgus slain, by Ricimer commander of the Emperor’s forces, A.C. 464.  Afterwards they were again beaten, by the joint force of Odoacer King of Italy and Childeric King of the Franks, about the year 480, and again by Theudobert King of the Austrian Franks about the year 511.
