Balthes
The Balthes (meaning daring in gotic language ) are, with the Amales, two great Gothic chalk-linings saying itself resulting from the God Gaut.
Balthes give to the Visigoths several kings until Amalaric, died in 531; the girl of this last, Goïswinthe, becomes the wife of the king Visigoth Athanagild, who reigns of 554 with 567. With died of Athanagild, it becomes the wife of the king Léovigild, who reigns jointly with his brother from 567 then only of 572 to his death in 586.
The princess burgonde Clotilde, become franque queen , is related on chalk-lining balthe but also to chalk-lining amale.
Edward Gibbon in chapter 30, footnote # 4 of sound History of the decline and the fall of the Roman Empire written:
This famous line continued to extend in France, in the Gothic province of Septimanie, or Languedoc; under the unsuitable name of Beams ; and a branch of this family settled then in the kingdom of Naples. The lords of the Beams, close to Arles and near seventy-nine places known as remained independent of the Counts de Provence. | Edward Gibbon
