Odoacer (English spelling)
[Raw] 433
[Died] March 15, 493, Ravenna. The first Germanic (barbarian) king to rule Italy after breaking away from the rule of the Roman Empire. He was of a noble Germanic family. He became a member of the Western Roman Emperor's Praetorian Guard in Ravenna (470), and in 476, after the Roman general Orestes had placed his son Romulus Augustulus on the throne, he led a rebellion, supported by mercenaries, and became its leader. He killed Orestes and dethroned the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus. In 476, he was given the title of patrician by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Zeno. Under Zeno's orders, he conquered Dalmatia (now Croatia) from 480 to 482 and Luz (now Austria) from 487 to 488, but he disagreed with Zeno regarding the governance of Italy and was defeated (493) and assassinated by Theodoric the Great of the Ostrogoths, who was ordered by Zeno to do so.
