Alaric III (Fidem Pacis)

Alaric III was King of Spain and nominal Western Roman Emperor from 759 to 762. The son of Amalric II, he was more ambitious and warlike than his father and was determined to expand Spanish power in Europe. He died after three years in battle against the Alemanni, who had rebelled in protest at his taxes and conscription.

Alaric was succeeded by his son, Athawulf.
