Theodahad, also known as Thiudahad (Latin: Flavius Theodahatus Rex, Theodahadus, Theodatus; c. 480 – December 536), was the co-monarch of the Ostrogothic Kingdom with his cousin Amalasuintha in 534 and became the sole ruler from April 535 until his death in December 536. In contrast to the reign of Theodoric the Great, Theodahad's rule is generally regarded as a failure.[4]
