VI. _Of the ten Kingdoms represented by the ten horns of the fourth Beast._ Now by the wars above described the _Western_ Empire of the _Romans_, about the time that _Rome_ was besieged and taken by the _Goths_, became broken into the following ten kingdoms. 1. The kingdom of the _Vandals_ and _Alans_ in _Spain_ and _Africa_. 2. The kingdom of the _Suevians_ in _Spain_. 3. The kingdom of the _Visigoths_. |
