The Ostrogoths (Gleaming Goths or Eastern Goths), in distinction to the Visigoths (Noble Goths or Western Goths), were a Germanic tribe that influenced political events of the late Roman Empire.

 The Gothic Historical Society
The Goths are believed to have crossed the Baltic Sea sometime between ca 300 BC, and 100 BC.
In the traditional province of Ostrogothia, in Sweden, archeological evidence shows that there was a general depopulation during this period.
The settlement in modern Poland probably corresponds to the introduction of Scandinavian burial traditions, such as the stone circles and the stelae, which indicates that the early Goths preferred to bury their dead according to Scandinavian traditions.

The settlement in today's Poland probably corresponds to the introduction of Scandinavian burial traditions, such as the Stone Circle (Iron Age) and the Menhir (Iron Age), which indicates that the early Goths preferred to bury their dead according to Scandinavian traditions.
This scenario would make their migration across the Baltic similar to many other population movements in history, such as the Anglo-Saxons#The "Anglo-Saxon invasion" and genetic history, where migrants have imposed their own culture and language on an indigenous one.
In this infected conflict, the bishop of Diocese of Växjö, Nicolaus Ragvaldi claimed that the Swedes were the descendants of the great Goths, and that the people of Västergötland (Westrogothia in Latin) were the Visigoths and the people of Östergötland (Ostrogothia in Latin) were the Ostrogoths.

If Beowulf accurately describes them as they lived in Denmark, then they were localized armed gangs of thugs whose use of longships gave them access to ready targets over thousands of miles of coastland.
The material evidence of this seagoing warrior culture is evidenced, not only from excavations of the later Viking period (880-1066 A.D.) but from the near contemporary seventh century Anglo-Saxon burial at Sutton Hoo, which held ship and armaments.
In fact, the Sutton Hoo ship contained no body, and is therefore supposed to have been a traditional pagan ritual mound for the dead king, who had been baptized and already given Christian burial elsewhere.
