Witiges, Vitiges (d. 540) was the King of the Ostrogoths from 536 to 540. He was the husband of Amalasuntha's only surviving child, Mathesuntha. Witiges had Theodahad murdered after the imprisonment and death of his Mother-in-Law, Amalasuntha. General Belisarius took both Witiges and Mathesuntha to Constantinople, and Witiges died there, without any children. After his death Mathesuntha married Germanus the patrician, a cousin of the Emperor Justinian.
