==Family and progeny==
Theodoric was married once. He had a concubine in [[Moesia]], name unknown, with whom he had two daughters:
* [[Ostrogotho]] (ca. 475 – 520).{{sfn|Dailey|2015|p=88}} She was married to the king [[Sigismund of Burgundy]] as a part of her father's alliance with the Burgundians.{{sfn|Burns|1991|p=97}}{{sfn|Amory|1997|p=269}}
* [[Theodegotha]] (ca. 473 – ?). In 494, she was married to [[Alaric II]] as a part of her father's alliance with the Visigoths.{{sfn|Burns|1991|p=98}}

By his marriage in 493 to the pagan [[Audofleda]]—the sister of Clovis, who was baptized an Arian at the time of their wedding—Theodoric had one daughter:{{sfn|Hartmann|2009|p=27}}
* [[Amalasuintha]], Queen of the Goths.{{sfn|Wolfram|1997|pp=225–227}} She was married to Eutharic and had two children: [[Athalaric]] and [[Matasuntha]] (the latter being married to [[Witiges]] first, then, after Witiges' death, married to [[Germanus Justinus]]).{{sfn|Hartmann|2009|pp=25–26, 34–36}}

After his death in Ravenna in 526, Theodoric was succeeded by his grandson [[Athalaric]].{{sfn|Wolfram|1997|p=225}} Athalaric was at first represented by his mother Amalasuintha, who served as regent between 534 and 535.{{sfn|Hartmann|2009|p=25}} The kingdom of the Ostrogoths, however, began to wane and the personal union of the Gothic tribes, once brought together by Theodoric, collapsed following his demise.{{sfn|Wolfram|1997|p=225}} The subsequent campaigns into Italy by Justinian—whose long reign from 527 to 565 delineates the transition from "antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Latin West" according to historian Michael Kulikowski—wrought the final blows to Theodoric's once dominant kingdom.{{sfn|Kulikowski|2019|p=293}}
