• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

This essay has the aim to verify, whether the thesis proposed by Georges Dumézil, who claimed that the candidate to the throne should have the virtues, which reflect the three elements of the tripartite model (sovereignty, warfare, and physical beauty), could be confirmed by the dynastic tradition of the Gothic royal family of the Amals. The Gothic material seldom was an object of research of Dumézil’s followers hence it is legitimate to include it to comparative researches. The examination presented in this study actually proves that the legitimization of the dynastic succession of an Amal prince Eutharic Cilliga was based on demonstrating, that he was at the same time wise, brave, and beautiful.
