Theudimund

For the Suevic king, see Theodemund.

Theodimundus or Theudimund (Latin: Theodimundus; Greek: Θευδιμούνδος; fl. 541) was a Byzantine official of Barbarian origins.

Biography

Theodimundus was the son of strategos (and likely MVM vacans)[1] Mauricius, a son of magister militum Mundus, himself a possible descendant of Attila the Hun.[2][3][4]

He belonged to the barbarian military aristocracy fighting for the Byzantines in the Balkans.[5] Theodimundus was active during the reign of Emperor Justinian (r. 527–565). As a young man (by 540/541), he served in the Byzantine army during the Gothic War of 535-554 under Vitalius. He participated in the Battle of Treviso against the Gothic king Hildebad and barely escaped with his life, fleeing with his commander after the Byzantine defeat.[1][6][7]
