Theodoric Strabo, known as the son of Triarius, emerged as the artful rival of Theodoric the Amal during the turbulent politics of Gothic leadership. From a neighboring height, he harangued the assembled warriors, branding his opponent with opprobrious names in an attempt to undermine his authority. His accidental death ultimately destroyed the delicate balance of power that his rivalry had maintained.
