  Hydatius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydatius was born around the year 400 in the environs of Lemica, a Roman town near modern Xinzo de Limia in the northwestern Spanish province of Ourense.
Though Hydatius consistently characterizes Spanish heretics as Manichees, it is generally believed that he meant Priscillianists, followers of the Spanish ascetic and bishop Priscillian, who had been condemned as a heretic by several church councils and executed as a magician by the emperor Magnus Maximus (reigned 383-388) around 385.
Hydatius' main concern throughout is to show the dissolution of civil society in the western Roman empire and Spain in particular, and he paints a very dark picture of 5th century life.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.12.01
Hydatius wrote in an obscure town in northwestern Spain in the fifth century AD, and his chronicle suffers from his extreme isolation.
Hydatius also was working with a number of different and mutually inconsistent systems, and despite the obvious importance of calculating the date of the Second Coming he may not have attached the same importance we do to dating historical events.
More importantly, B. attaches considerable importance to Hydatius' desire to save his soul given the impending end of the world, but it is not clear to me from the internal evidence that this was Hydatius' main preoccupation, and B.'s only other reference is to his own dissertation.

 Priscillian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was on the question of continence in, if not renunciation of, marriage, that he came into conflict with the authorities, and his influence among growing numbers of followers threatened the authority of the church when the bishops Instantius and Salvian were won over by his eloquence and his severely ascetic example.
His notable opponents in Hispania were Hyginus, bishop of Cordoba, and Hydatius, bishop of Merida.
After a Priscillianist delegation to Hydatius was turned away, they appointed Priscillian bishop of Avila, and the orthodox party found it necessary to appeal to the emperor (Gratian), who issued an edict threatening the sectarian leaders with banishment.

 <i>DIR</p> Avitus
Other sources, such as the Spanish chronicler Hydatius and the Byzantine chronicler John of Antioch, provide some precious insights into Avitus' reign, and these must be fleshed out wherever possible by bits and snippets found in other sources.
Hydatius tersely reported, "In this year, Avitus, a citizen of Gaul, was named emperor by the Gallic army and by the notables, first at Toulouse, then at Arles" ("ipso anno, in Galliis Avitus, Gallus civis, ab exercitu Gallicano et ab honoratis, primum Tolosae, dehinc apud Arelatum Augustus appelatus est": Chron.163).
Hydatius notes, under the year 455, "Count Fronto was sent by the emperor Avitus as ambassador to the Suevi." But the primary imperial initiatives in Spain were in the hands of Avitus' ally, the Visigothic king Theoderic II.

 Homosexuality Amongst the Ancient Heruli   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Hydatius twice mentions attacks of Heruli pirates against Christians of Northern Portugal and Spain, as he considered the Heruli to be barbaric agents of the Anti-Christ and harbingers of the impending apocalypse.
Hydatius first notes that in 456 seven ships of Heruli (totaling some 400 pirates) attacked a town in northern Portugal but lost their battle with the locals even though only two Heruli were killed.
Hydatius himself was also taken prisoner for three months by what seems to have been a small contingent of Heruli.

 Chapter 1: St. James's Catapult
The chronicler Hydatius, a bishop in Galicia from 427 until his death in about 470, conscious though he was of living his life 'at the uttermost limit of the world', was yet a travelled man whose horizons were far from modest.
Hydatius referred to a community of nuns (virgines Dei) at Braga, there was at least one monastery among the British settlements, Martin of Braga founded more than one, nearly all the houses in the monastic 'connection' of St. Fructuosus were in Galicia, and a seventh-century inscription attests a monastic establishment at Samos.
The structure of the Visigothic church was disrupted by the Islamic conquest and short-lived occupation of Galicia.

Hydatius offers instead a thoughtful estimation of the Roman Empire's condition at the end of the reign Emperor Leo I (A.D. It requires some effort to extract Hydatius' point of view from his spare chronicle.
For Hydatius the year 365 was symbolic: life as he and his fellow provincials knew it was at an end.
The apocalyptic chronicler Hydatius was practical enough to gauge precisely the condition of the Roman Empire at the time he wrote his account of modern events (once again, in the early 470s).

 Chapter 3: Priscillianism and Pagan Survivals in Spain
Hyginus, bishop of Cordova, and Hydatius, bishop of Merida, where the movement was strongest, took action against its spread, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
Ithacius, and Hydatius, bishop of Merida, were to be the principal enemies of the Priscillianists.
Hydatius seized this opportunity of appealing to Gratian, the reigning emperor of the West, and secured from him a rescript against "pseudo-bishops and Manicheans."

 The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, Vol. IX: Petri - Reuchlin (priscillian)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
So formidable became the movement that in 380 Bishop Hydatius of Emerita convened a synod at Saragossa in which he charged the ascetic faction with reading Apocryphal writings and with Novatianism, Photinianism, Manicheanism (see Novatian; and Manicheans), and all sorts of heresy.
Hydatius, however, claimed that Priscillian and his adherents had been anathematized, whereupon bishops Hyginus of Cordova and Symposius of Astorga, sympathizers with Priscillian, advised that the matter be brought before a synod.
Hydatius, foreseeing defeat, obtained from Gratian a rescript against pseudo-bishops and Manicheans, whereupon Priscillian, Instantius, and Salvianus went to Damasus at Rome, and, laying before him a memorial (the second tractate), asked to be rehabilitated either by a synod or by the emperor.

Burgess, The Chronicle of Hydatius and the Consularia Constantinopolitana.
Some small quibbles: B. suggests in his introduction that Hydatius picked up his Greek from merchants in Spain, but it seems more likely to me that he acquired his very limited Greek as a boy in Jerusalem.
It would be nice to see a geographical appendix where the numerous rivers and towns could be given their modern names, or to have the names given in the text of the translation itself.

 <i>DIR</p> Athemius
Hydatius claims that Anthemius had a brother, also named Procopius, but there is no other evidence for this and it probably is a mistake.
Hydatius placed the event a few miles up the road: "Anthemius is named the forty- sixth emperor at the eighth milestone from Rome" ("Romanorum XLVI Anthemius, octavo milario de Roma, Augustus appellatur": Chron.
And Hydatius notes that an initial western expedition, presumably under the command of Marcellinus, came to nought: "An expedition to Africa that had been organized against the Vandals was recalled because of a change in circumstances and the unsuitability of the weather" ("expeditio ad Africam adversus Vandalos ordinata, metabolarum commutatione et navigationis inopportunitate revocatur": Chron.

 ePrintsUQ - The Chronicles of Spain: A Discussion of Some Trends in Spanish History Found in the Chronicles of Hydatius ...
This thesis intends to examine four chronicles from fifth, sixth, and early seventh century Spain and discuss the different approaches to the history of that period that the chronicles of Hydatius of Lemica, John of Biclaro, Isidore of Seville, and the Chronicle of Zaragoza display.
Firstly, each of the writers will be discussed in turn, along with the implications of their choice to use the format of a chronicle to record the past.
In all of this, it is apparent that attitudes in Spain to the recent past changed during this period, because of the political, religious, economic, and social upheavals caused by the disappearance of the Roman Empire in Spain and the rise of the kingdom of the Visigoths.

Priscillian was made Bishop of Avila, but it was not long before he encountered the hostility of a part of the Spanish clergy.
Bishop Hydatius, Metropolitan of Lusitania - see glossary, led the opposition, and at a Synod held in 380 at Caesaraugusta (Saragossa) - see glossary accused him of Manichaean and Gnostic heresy.
After this Martin and Ambrose refused to have any fellowship whatever with Hydatius and the other bishops who were responsible, and when the Emperor Maximus fell, the cruel torture and murder of these saintly persons was recorded with abhorrence and Ithacus was deprived of his bishopric.

It was not only a question of suppressing conventicles or of opposing what threatened to become an order of monks apart from the Church, but of a complete difference of principle.
The policy of Hydatius was to strengthen the power of the Metropolitan as representing the See of Rome - see glossary, with a view to carrying out the Roman centralizing organization which was as yet unpopular in Spain and incomplete and was opposed by the lesser bishops.
The circles with which Priscillian was associated were in principle diametrically opposed to this; their occupation with Scripture and acceptance of it as their guide in all things led them to desire the independence of each congregation, and this they were already putting into practice.

Gundahar was killed in the fighting, reportedly along with the majority of the Burgundian tribe.

The destruction of Worms and the Burgundian kingdom by the Huns became the subject of heroic legends that were afterwards incorporated in the Nibelungenlied—on which Wagner based his Ring Cycle—where King Gunther (Gundahar) and Queen Brünhild hold their court at Worms, and Siegfried comes to woo Kriemhild.

It was printed as early as 1600 and has provided the most complete and reliable authority on Leovigild's stormy reign, and on the Visigothic conversion from Arianism, in an impartial narrative.
There are three other chronicles that cover parts of the Visigothic rule of Spain: the bishop Hydatius, bishop Isidore of Seville, both propagandists for the doctrinally unified Catholic Visigothic establishment, and the fragmentary but apparently secular Chronicle of Zaragoza.
A bishop known as "Johannes Gerundensis" ("John of Gerona")seems to have been a successor of the chronicler.

But it remains a fact that the Chronicle of 511 is extremely correct in its dating.
This becomes apparent when shown that the chronicler of 511 used neither Hydatius nor the Gallic Chronicle of 452, his two known chief sources, for the construction of his basic chronology for the first half of the fifth century.

 Chapter 3: St. James's Catapult
Oaths were sworn at his tomb, miracles sought and perhaps claimed.
The centre of his cult appears to have been somewhere in Galicia, and it was certainly in Galicia that Priscillianism survived to trouble orthodox churchmen such as Hydatius, Turibius of Astorga and Martin of Braga throughout the [60] fifth and sixth centuries, even possibly into the seventh.
It would be ironic indeed if the shrine of St. James did and does in reality shelter the mortal remains of the first schismatic and heretic ever to be executed by the secular authorities at the instance of orthodox Christian churchmen.
