He was the successor of Goar as king of the Alan foederati settled in the region around Aurelianum modern day Orl ans . According to Jordanes , Sangiban had promised Attila before the Battle of Ch lons to open the city gates and deliver Aurelianum to the Huns . Suspecting this, the Romans and Visigoths put Sangiban in the center of the line opposing the Huns, where they could prevent him from defecting. Thus the Alans bore the main brunt of the Hunnic assault, while the Goths were able to flank the Huns and ultimately drive them back. Jordanes does not record whether Sangiban survived the battle.

Batraz lang os was the leader and greatest warrior of the mythology mythical super human race, the Nart saga Narts . The Narts were the central figures of Sarmatian folklore . The character of Batraz may be connected to King Arthur . The Narts The mother of the Narts was Satana who was renowned for her wisdom. The principal enemies of the Narts were the Terks or Turks but they also fought the vaigs, man eating ogre s, and would ultimately do battle with heaven itself. Nart heroes include Soslan , Atsamaz , Hamytz and Uryzmag . The Narts had a great hall called Nykhas where they would feast and drink. The life of Batraz The Sarmatians shared an almost spirituality spiritual connection with their weapons, and so the life of Batraz revolves around his magic sword . While a young man, Batraz pulls his sword from the roots of a tree. This could be connected to the fact that Sarmatians were buried with their swords embedded in the earth or stone at the heads of their graves. Also the sword of Batraz plays an important part of his death, when he is fatally wounded by his archenemy, Sainag Alder. Legend has it that Batraz tells his friend to throw his sword into the ocean . The warrior is reluctant at first, not only because of the quality of the sword but because of the spiritual connection it had with Batraz. But in the end the warrior did throw the sword and it was caught by a water goddess. Concerning Batraz and King Arthur It was recently noticed that Batraz and the legendary King Arthur share many similarities. Batraz has a magical sword that is cast into the ocean probably the Black Sea as he dies in Arthurian myth, as Arthur is dying from the wounds his archenemy Mordred has inflicted on him, he calls his knight Bedivere to throw his sword Excalibur into a lake, where it was caught by the Lady of the Lake.
