	Goths, Franks, and Justinian's Empire 476-610 by Sanderson Beck
		After his queen was insulted by the wealthy wife of Uraias, Ildibad had Uraias murdered.
		In reaction a Gepid with a grudge against the king killed Ildibad at a palace banquet in 541.
		Rugians, who had submitted to the rule of Ostrogoth Theodoric, nominated their Eraric as king; but he tried to sell northern Italy to Emperor Justinian and was put to death when Totila became king five months later.

	TOTILA - LoveToKnow Article on TOTILA
		552), king of the Ostrogoths, was chosen king after the death of his uncle Ildibad in 541, his real name being, as is seen from the coinage issued by him, Baduila.
		The work of his life was the restoration of the Gothic kingdom in Italy and he entered upon the task at the very beginning of his reign, collecting together and inspiring the Goths and winning a victory over the troops of the emperor Justinian, near Faenza.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Justinian
		The emperor's motive may have been the danger on the eastern front as much as distrust of Belisarius, but in any case, Belisarius, with important Goths including Witigis and Matasuintha, and the Gothic treasure, made their way to the capital, where the emperor's greeting was cool and mistrustful.
		The Goths had already chosen a new leader, Ildibad, nephew of the king of the Visigoths in Spain, and when he was assassinated in 541, his nephew in turn, Totila (as Procopius names him) or Baduila (as the name appears on his coins) was chosen in his place.
		Totila was to prove a worthy adversary of the empire.

	Belisarius' Bid for Rome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Justinian learned of the Goths' offer, and although Belisarius had not accepted it, he began to doubt the general's loyalty.
		In 541, he recalled Belisarius to Constantintople--at which point the Ostrogoths, under the leadership of Ildibad and, after his death, Vittigis' nephew Totila, retook most of what the Byzantines had gained.
		In 544, Justinian sent Belisarius--again with an inadequate force of 4,000 troops--back to Italy, where Totila took Rome in the following year, only to lose it to Belisarius soon afterward.
