Wallia
Wallia was king of the Visigoths from 415 to 418. After a failed attempt to cross to Africa, he made peace with Rome, returned the captive Galla Placidia and fought for the empire in Hispania, destroying the Siling Vandals and crushing the Alans. In 418 Rome rewarded the Visigoths with settlement as federates in Aquitaine, where his successor Theodoric I founded the kingdom of Toulouse.
