The Visigothic Kings were rulers of the Visigothic Kingdom, which emerged in the early 5th century after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. They played a crucial role in the transition from Roman rule to medieval Europe, establishing their capital in Toledo, Spain. The most notable kings include Alaric I, who famously sacked Rome in 410 AD, and Reccared I, who converted to Christianity and united the kingdom under one faith. The Visigothic monarchy was characterized by a series of dynastic struggles and territorial expansion. The kings governed a diverse population and implemented laws that influenced later Spanish legal systems. The kingdom eventually fell to the Muslim conquest in the early 8th century, marking the end of Visigothic rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
