Individual Details

Hisarnis "Man of Iron" of the Amal Clan

(Ca 150 - )

Hisarnis was not listed by Jordanes or Cassiodorus as a Gothic King (the title likely belonged to a legendary king named Filimer, if the more important detail about his reign of the two is that he led the Goths into Scythia, as opposed to having lived in 1490 BC), but he did have the epithet of "Man of Iron" (suspiciously, the ancient Celtic word for iron is "isarna"). Likely, if his name was as these Gothic historians claimed, he was a warrior as well as head of the Amal clan.
