(79) Now the first of these heroes, as they themselves relate in their legends, was Gapt, who begat Hulmul. And Hulmul begat Augis; and Augis begat him who was called Amal, from whom the name of the Amali comes. This Amal begat Hisarnis. Hisarnis moreover begat Ostrogotha, and Ostrogotha begat Hunuil, and Hunuil likewise begat Athal. Athal begat Achiulf and Oduulf. Now Achiulf begat Ansila and Ediulf, Vultuulf and Hermanaric. And Vultuulf begat Valaravans and Valaravans begat Vinitharius. Vinitharius moreover begat Vandalarius;

(80) Vandalarius begat Thiudimer and Valamir and Vidimer; and Thiudimer begat Theodoric. Theodoric begat Amalasuentha; Amalasuentha bore Athalaric and Mathesuentha to her husband Eutharic, whose race was thus joined to hers in kinship.

(81) For the aforesaid Hermanaric, the son of Achiulf, begat Hunimund, and Hunimund begat Thorismud. Now Thorismud begat Beremud, Beremud begat Veteric, and Veteric likewise begat Eutharic, who married Amalasuentha and begat Athalaric and Mathesuentha. Athalaric died in the years of his childhood, and Mathesuentha married Vitiges, to whom she bore no child. Both of them were taken together by Belisarius to Constantinople. When Vitiges passed from human affairs, Germanus the patrician, a cousin of the Emperor Justinian, took Mathesuentha in marriage and made her a Patrician Ordinary. And of her he begat a son, also called Germanus. But upon the death of Germanus, she determined to remain a widow. Now how and in what wise the kingdom of the Amali was overthrown we shall keep to tell in its proper place, if the Lord help us.

Ben M. Angel summary:

From Jordanes, Valaravans is established as a son of Vultwulf, who was brother of King Airmanareiks (Hermenrich) of the Goths. Valaravans would have likely faded into obscurity but for the rebellion of his son Vinitharius "The Just", a warlord who killed off the leadership of the Antes and prompted a response from Hun Emperor Bulümar "Sheke," or "Balamber". Vinitharius' death marked the end of Ostrogoth resistance to the Huns.

Valaravans is said by Gerhard Kobler to have fathered not only Vinitharius, but a woman named Almaberga, supposedly the first woman by that name, who married a Saxon king named Widelphe. Widelphe is supposed to have been the father of "Basina", the wife of Thuringian King Basin who ran of with Childeric of the Franks after the latter was taken in as a refugee for 8 years. No other source supports this assertion (certainly it is not published in FMG's Medlands). Verification of Kobler's source for this would be welcome.

Valarvavans, prins av Østgotene

Jordanes skriver "Valaravans" var sønn av Vultwulf[. Han hadde sønnen Vinithar . ( Vinitharius "The Just"), krigsherren som med sin død markerte slutten på østgotisk motstand mot hunerne.

Gerhard Köbler sier at Valaravans var far til Vinitharius og en kvinne som het Almaberga, angivelig den første kvinnen med det navnet, som giftet seg med en angelsaksisk konge ved navn Widelphe., Widelphe skal ha vært far til "Basina", kona til Thüringer kongen Basin. Hun forlot sin ektemann og reiste med frankeren Childerik etter at sistnevnte hadde vært hos Basin som flyktning i 8 år.
