Page "Arianism" Paragraph 35

However, much of southeastern Europe and central Europe, including many of the Goths and Vandals respectively, had embraced Arianism ( the Visigoths converted to Arian Christianity in 376 ), which led to Arianism being a religious factor in various wars in the Roman Empire.

In the west, organized Arianism survived in North Africa, in Hispania, and parts of Italy until it was finally suppressed in the 6th and 7th centuries.

Grimwald, King of the Lombards ( 662 – 671 ), and his young son and successor Garibald ( 671 ), were the last Arian kings in Europe.
