Visigothic heritage

The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that played a significant role in the history of Europe during the late Roman Empire. They famously sacked Rome in 410 AD and later settled in the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal), where they established a kingdom that lasted until the early 8th century. Their legacy includes influencing the culture, language, and law of the region. The Visigoths are known for their contributions to medieval European society, including their codification of laws, which laid groundwork for future legal systems. Their heritage reflects the blend of Roman, Germanic, and local cultures in Europe.
