The correct spelling is Visigoths. Anyway they were originally an east Germanic tribe whose origins can be traced back to the mid to late 200’s AD. The Romans successfully subjugated and employed them in their military until the late 300’s AD at which time the Visigoths rebelled and set off on their own. Eventually they settled and built an empire of their own centered in Hispania/Gaul region. However by the early 700’s they had lost all their land to other invaders and ceased to exist as a distinct group of peoples.
