[Footnote 53: The marriage of Theodoric with Audefleda, the
sister of Clovis, may be placed in the year 495, soon after
the conquest of Italy (De Buat, Hist. des Peuples, tom. ix.
p. 213). The nuptials of Eutharic and Amalasontha were
celebrated in 515 (Cassiodor. in Chrqn. p. 453 (tom. i. p.
395, ed. Rotom.))].
