Thorismund (also Thorismod or Thorismud, as manuscripts of the chief source confusingly attest[1]) (c. 420–453), became king of the Visigoths after his father Theodoric I was killed in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (also called Battle of Châlons) in 451 CE. He was murdered in 453 and was succeeded by his brother Theodoric II.
