Ragnaris (Greek spelling Ῥάγναρις, Ῥαγναρίς, Ῥαγναρῆς; Germanic,[1][2] died 555) was a Hunnic warlord who fought for the Ostrogoths in the final stages of the Gothic War against the Eastern Roman Empire.
Procopius calls him a Goth, but the better informed Agathias records that he was of the Hunnic tribe of the Vittores or Vitgores (possibly the Bittugures mentioned in Jordanes).
According to Procopius, he began negotiations with the Eastern Roman general Pacurius for surrendering the city and entering imperial service with his men, but when he learned of the accession of Teia to the Ostrogothic throne he changed his mind.
[3] He reappears in late 554 as the leader of 7,000 Gothic troops, possibly survivors of Teia's last stand at the Battle of Mons Lactarius.
The Eastern Roman general Narses laid siege to them in the winter, but the Goths were easily able to hold out, having secured large provisions.
