Ermanaric (Gothic: *Aírmanareiks; Latin: Ermanaricus; Old English: Eormanrīc [ˈeormɑnriːtʃ]; Old Norse: Jǫrmunrekr [ˈjɔrmunrekr]; died 376) was a Ostrogothic king of the Greuthungian tribe.
The main source on his life is the 6th-century Roman historian Jordanes.
Said to have died when he was 110, he appears in Germanic legend as a vicious and warlike ruler. He ruled over much of modern Ukraine before the Huns invaded in 370 AD.
