Balamber

Balamir (also Balamber ) was supposed to be a king of the Huns in the 4th century.

Balamir to be penetrated with his rider armies across the Volga and have shattered the kingdom of the Alans in Terek, Kuban and lower Don. Then he attacked Ermanarichs Greutungenreich and forced it to military service and tribute. Later, he is said to have married a gothic princess, after her father Vinitharius, who rebelled against him killed.

The historicity Balamirs, mentioned by Jordanes is controversial. The name is aligned with the Gothic Valamer ( Valamir ), and certainly contributed to the 375 advancing westward Huns no Gothic name (this was later the case). It is therefore possible that the Goths wanted to associate their defeat in southern Russia with only one person.
