Gesalic (in Spanish Gesaleico, in Catalan Gesaleic, in Portuguese Geserico) was king of the Visigoths from 507 through 511. He was the illegitimate son of Alaric II. When Alaric was killed in battle by the Franks, his only legitimate son, Amalaric, was a child. The Visigoths, who didn't use a system of primogeniture, elected Gesalec to reign. Although he pursued the war against the Franks, he wasn't successful and the Franks burned his capital at Toulouse. After Narbonne fell to the Burgundians, Gesalic's Visigoths fell back to Iberia and the Ostrogothic king Theodoric came to his assistance.
