I get my history from Asterix comics:
The Visigoths are described as Goths from the West and Ostrogoths as Goths from the East (Ost = "East" in German.) This can be seen as a satire/comment on the division of Germany into East and West at the time, and Obelix's confusion that they had to travel East (from Gaul) to get to the Visigoths who were Goths from the West. As he commented, "these Goths are crazy!"
New descriptive chess notation: King's bishop's pawn North West 1.
