3. How are the details of Theodoric's upbringing important to the development of the story's plot?

I don't know how to answer that but here,

Theodoric the Great, also spelled Theoderic or called Theodoric the Amal, was king of the Ostrogoths, and ruler of the independent Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy between 493–526, regent of the Visigoths, and a patrician of the East Roman Empire. As ruler of the combined Gothic realms, Theodoric controlled an empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Adriatic Sea. As a young child of an Ostrogothic nobleman, Theodoric was taken as a hostage in Constantinople
