Eriulf

Eriulf (died 391) was a Gothic warlord. He was a leader of the Thervingi, who under emperor Theodosius I had been settled as foederati along the lower Danube through a treaty concluded in 382. Eriulf led one of the factions among the Goths who crossed the Danube in 376 while the other followed Fravitta. These two leaders struggled to fill the leadership vacuum among the Thervingi that had existed since 382. As a consequence, Fravitta had to flee Gothic society with his Roman wife and joined the East Roman army, where he was given a command in the regular army.
