Amaderic I (Birth of Civilization Map Game)

Amaderic I was the third king of the Visigoths. He was considered one of the most successful rulers of the Visigothic kingdom. He ascended to kingship at the close of the second Visigothic civil war, and died in 3176 BCE, after which Amaderic II ascended to power.

Biography
Amaderic was born in 3239 BCE in Madrid. Before his ascension, he made signifcant contributions to the literature system of the Visigoths.

Amaderic, just like many other Visigoths, was displeased with the ruler of the Visigoth kingdom, Theoderic II. As a result he became a member of the rising rebellion against him, and was prominent in dethroning him.

When Theoderic II was dethroned, Amaderic ascended as king of the Visigoths. Amaderic ushered in a new era for the Visigoths, one that was full of advancement. Amaderic introduced the Visigoths to his works of literature, and also started training people as diplomats and traders, being open-minded about the existence of other civilizations. Like his predecessors, he also expanded the borders of the Visigoth kingdom, but unlike them, didn't displease the people, or exhaust too much resources. Amaderic had during the first years of his kingship all of Madrid repaired from the civil war.

Amaderic eventually died in 3176 BCE and was succeeded by his son, Amaderic II.

Personality
In contrast so his previous counterparts, Amaderic was very open-minded. This was not only necessary to advance the kingdom, but also allowed him to contribute to the literature of the Visigoths, which was virtually non-existent before Amaderic's leadership. He was often described as a nice but strict king, which was necessary to advance the realm.
