5. I think the ostrogoths were from the east.
All I know is that when they moved in, the Romans said "There goes the neighborhood".

7. Visigoths=West Goths; Ostrogoths=East Goths
The Visigoths ended their tribal run in Spain, overrun by Muslims.
The Ostrogoths fought the Byzantines under Bellisarius and Narses in Italy until there were but 1000 of them left.
Narses released them with safe conduct and they disappeared from history.
(But I think they're the Swiss)
