		Leander and Isidore and their siblings (all sainted) belonged to an elite family of Hispano-Roman stock of Carthago Nova.
		Leander, enjoying an elite position in the secure surroundings of tolerated Catholic culture in Seville, became at first a Benedictine monk, and then 579 he was appointed bishop of Seville.
		As Bishop he had access to the Catholic Merovingian princess Ingunthis, who had come as a bride for the kingdom's heir, and he worked tirelessly with her to convert her husband Hermenegild, the eldest son of Liuvigild, an act of court intrigue that cannot honestly be divorced from a political context.

	Isidore Of Seville - LoveToKnow 1911
		Leander, bishop of Seville, was his elder brother.
		In 599, on the death of his brother, he was chosen archbishop of Seville, and acquired high renown by his successful administration of the episcopal office, as well as by his numerous theological, historical and scientific works.
		In the provincial and national councils he played an important part, notably at Toledo in 610, at Seville in 619 and in 633 at Toledo, which profoundly modified the organization of the church in Spain.

	St. Fulgentius
		Leander, in his "Libellus" on the religious life written for his sister Florentina states that he has sent Fulgentius back to his native town of cartagena, which he now regrets as he fears that harm may befall him, and he requests Florentina to pray for him.
		Probably through the influence of Leander, who was made Archbishop of Seville in the year 584 and who played an important part in the affairs of the Visigothic kingdom, Fulgentius became Bishop of Astigi (Ecija), in the eccleslastical province of Seville.
		As Leander died in 600 and Pegasius is shown to have still been Bishop of Ecija in 590, we may safely assume that Fulgentius was chosen bishop between 690 and 600; at all events he already occupied the see in 610.

	The History of Seville, Andalusia, Spain
		It is speculated that during this period, Seville was witness to the murder of two kings, Teudis and Teudiselus, but the event which shook the Visigoth world to its foundations was a civil war between two religious factions.
		One of the mos numerous contingents to settle in Seville were the Yemenis who were responsible of many uprisings and disturbances during Abs Al Rahman I's emirate (756-788), besides their continuous struggle against the Ommiad dynasty in Córdoba which had been capital of Al-Andalus since 716.
		In 1401 Seville's Chapter House reached a decision of far-reaching consequences for the religious history of Seville: nothing less than the construction of a new Cathedral which,as one of the prebendaries declared, would be so large that "when finished, those who see it will take us for madmen".

		His education was entrusted to his older brother, St. Leander, who was bishop of Seville.
		Leander was a very hard taskmaster, and at one point, it is said, young Isidore was ready to run away from "school." But eventually he was reconciled to his educational training and went on to become a walking encyclopedia and a great educator.
		Thus, because of both his words and his example, St. Isidore of Seville deserves the title "The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages." God had given him riches of mind as well as property, and he had spent his life sharing both of these riches with the needy.
