Who really \"won\" the Battle of Chalons?

[Michael Kerr]

I get a bit confused about Jordanes, why would he change Priscus's story which said that Theodoric was killed by the spear of Andag and changed it to him falling off his horse and being trampled by his own forces. I don't see the point except that for some reason he hated Alans in general. Maybe he was treated badly by his father, I don't know. Its not only that he downplayed the role of the Alans in the army of Aetius but Kim mentions in his book that Andag although an Ostrogoth could have been of the Amal clan may have been of Alan blood as his name could be Germanized from Andac which was probably Iranian from a similar name found in a 3rd century inscription in Tanais, Andaakos. Very strange. :?
