Kingdom of the Visigoths

The Kingdom of the Visigoths was a medieval Western European state established by the Visigoths, a Germanic people, after they migrated into Roman territories in the 4th century. They initially served as Roman allies but later established their own kingdom, primarily in Spain and southern France. The Visigothic Kingdom lasted until the early 8th century when it was overtaken by Muslim armies. It is known for its contributions to early medieval European culture, law (such as the Visigothic Code), and for shaping the political landscape of Iberia during its existence.
