Topic: Liuvigild

Liuvigild was declared co-king with his brother Liuva I on the throne of the Visigoths after a short period of anarchy which followed the death of King Athanagild, who was a brother of them both.
Liuvigild began his sole reign of the reunited Visigothic territories by seizing the Byzantine-ruled city of Córdoba, where the Byzantines had recently answered Athanagild's call for help by establishing a stretch of Byzantine territory in the southeast of the Iberian peninsula.
Liuvigild also ousted the Germanic Suevi from their strongholds at León and Zamora, thus enlarging his kingdom to the north and west as well, but for another generation the eastern Roman emperor retained a base in southeastern Spain, which retained its old Roman name of Hispania Baetica.

Liuvigild (Leuvigild, Leuvigildo, Leovigild, Leovigildo, Leogild) was King of the Visigoths from 569 to April 21, 586.
Liuvigild was declared co-king with his brother Liuva I on the throne of the Visigoths after a short period of anarchy which followed the death of King Athanagild, who was a brother of them both.
During Liuvigild's reign, Leander, an Ibero-Roman who was Catholic bishop of Seville, together with the princess Ingunthis, convinced her husband Hermenegild, the eldest son of Liuvigild, to convert to Catholic Christianity, and defended the convert in an uprising (583 - 584) that occasioned his father's reprisals.

Liuvigild began his sole reign of the reunited Visigothic territories by seizing the Byzantine Empire -ruled city of Córdoba, Spain, where the Byzantines had recently answered Athanagild's call for help by establishing a stretch of Byzantine territory in the southeast of the Iberian peninsula.
Liuvigild also ousted the Germanic Suevi from their strongholds at León, León and Zamora, thus enlarging his kingdom to the north and west as well, but for another generation the eastern Roman emperor retained a base in southeastern Spain, which retained its old Roman name of Hispania Baetica.
After besieging and taking Byzantine Seville, Liuvigild took his son prisoner in Córdoba and banished him safely north to Valencia, where he was murdered by Liuvigild's agents (585)— and later canonized as Saint Hermenegild by Pope Sixtus IV at the urging of Philip II of Spain.

 Liuvigild - Wikipedia
Liuvigild (Leuvigild, Leuvigildo, Leovigild, Leovigildo, Leogild) var vestgoternes konge fra 569 til 21.
Liuvigild drev også de germanske sueviene bort fra deres befestninger i Leon og Zamora, og på den måten utvidet han sitt kongedømme mot nord og vest også, men i mer enn en ny generasjon skulle den østlige romerske keiseren beholde en base i det sørøstlige Hispania, som tok tilbake sitt gamle romerske navn Hispania Baetica.
Liuvigild sendte den problematiske biskopen i eksil også, han tilbrakte årene før Hermenegilds opprør, 579 til 582, ved hoffet i Konstantinopel.

 Visigoth - Wikipedia Mirror
For the role of Arianism in Visigothic kingship, see the entry for Liuvigild.
The last Arian Visigothic king, Liuvigild, conquered the Suevi kingdom in 585 and most of the northern regions (Cantabria) in 574 and regained part of the southern areas lost to the Byzantines, which his heir conquered completely in 624.
With the Catholicization of the Visigothic kings, the Catholic bishops increased in power, until, at the synod held at Toledo in 633, they took upon themselves the nobles' right to select a king from among the royal family.

He early devoted himself to a monastic life, and after a long continuance in it he was made Bishop of Seville, where he maintained the Faith against the Arianism which then prevailed, and received Herminigild, who reigned there under his father Liuvigild, into the church.
[c] Herminigild was deposed by Liuvigild, chiefly, it seems, for embracing the Catholic Faith.
Liuvigild however very soon after acknowledged privately the true faith, and recalled Leander, and placed his son and successor Recared under his direction.

 Leander of Seville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the meantime he founded a celebrated school, which soon became a center of Catholic learning.
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.
A close friendship thenceforth united the two men, and some of their correspondence survives.
