In the prelude to the battle, the new Ostrogothic king Ildibad had exploited the withdrawal by Eastern Roman EmperorJustinian I of general Belisarius from Italy, easily extending his authority in Venetia and Liguria with a small but growing Gothic force.[2] In 541, Ildibad was engaged outside Treviso by general Vitalius, the military commander of the city, whose force included a sizable number of Heruli. The battle ended with a decisive victory for Ildibad, with Vitalius barely escaping while the Heruli leader was killed.[2] Ildibad was subsequently able to extend his authority across the entire Po Valley,[1] but his murder by a Gepid at a palace banquet prevented him from profiting further from the victory.[2]Theudimundus, the son of magister militumMundus, participated in this battle, fighting for the Byzantines under Vitalius.[3][4]
