	Theodoric II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theodoric II (in Spanish Teodorico) murdered his older brother Thorismund to become king of the Visigoths in 453 CE.

		In 462 the empire ceded Septimania to Theodoric.

		Theodoric yielded to the evidence of truth; adopted the measure at once the most prudent and the most honorable; and declared, that, as the faithful ally of Aetius and the Romans, he was ready to expose his life and kingdom for the common safety of Gaul.
