Individual Details
Amal "the Fortunate" of the Amal Clan
(Ca 123 - )
If the Ukrainian Rulers from Wikipedia is correct and Amal was born in the 120s, he would likely have been the last Amal head of family to have not taken part in the migration to "Oium" or the Scythian plains (present Ukraine).
Amal is of course the name that the clan would take as it passed through the Scythian plains and through the dark days of Hun subjugation into the days of the collapse of the Roman Empire. It's unknown why Cassiodorus gave him the epithet of "The Fortunate".
Likely, Amal's world consisted of an expanding Gothic territory extending up the Vistula (Wisla) valley. Toward the end of his life, the Przeworsk culture, consisting of Vandals and allied tribes, were probably displaced by the expanding Goth kingdom in present Poland. Eventually, the decision would be made to colonize "Oium" in what would be termed the Goth migration of the third century.
