# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Athaulf became king of the Visigoths in 411, inheriting a people still organized along tribal lines and living on the edges of a crumbling Roman world. Over the next four years he restructured the Visigothic state, replacing older kinship networks with the apparatus of a political power that could negotiate, threaten, and maneuver among the collapsing provinces of late antiquity. The transformation was swift and consequential: by the time of his death on 15 August 415, the Visigoths were no longer raiders but a force Rome had to reckon with as something like peers. He was killed before his mid-forties, stabbed in his own court, the state he'd shaped left to successors who would carry it forward into Spain and beyond.
