The book explores the life and legacy of Theodoric the Ostrogoth, a key figure in the Early Middle Ages, detailing his efforts to unite the Gothic tribes and preserve Roman civilization during a period of transition and chaos in Europe. The opening of the work introduces the author's motivations and preliminary thoughts about Theodoric's significance in history. Hodgkin reflects on the historical context of Theodoric's reign, emphasizing the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the chaos of the era. He outlines the intentions of the Ostrogoths and other barbarian tribes, illustrating Theodoric's dual role as both a conqueror and a custodian of civilization, ultimately portraying him as a figure whose achievements were pivotal yet often overlooked in the broader narrative of history. The text sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Theodoric's ancestry, early challenges, and formative relationships that shaped his future endeavors.
