## Bio

Amalasuintha was born in 495 and became regent of the Ostrogothic Kingdom in 526 when her son Athalaric took the throne as a child. Educated in Greek, Gothic, and Latin, she drew praise from Cassiodorus and Procopius for her intellect, but her affinity for Roman culture and her authority as a woman unsettled the Gothic nobles at court. When Athalaric died young, she became queen regnant outright. Six months later she was deposed and killed. Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I took her death as his justification to launch the Gothic War.
