According to Delaforce & Baldry (2006), "Aoric's other son, Rocesthes (abt 340 - 399) was the father of Alaric I. ... Athanaric had two children, Athaulf (abt 355 - 415) & a daughter, who married Alaric, the son of Rocesthes."[1][2]
However... Wikipedia (citing Settipani, 1993), states that Rothestes was either Alaric's father or grandfather.[3]
