 | | Saint Leander of Seville (Cartagena, ca 534 - Seville, March 13, 600 or 601), the brother of the encyclopedist, Isidore of Seville, was the Catholic bishop of Seville who was instrumental in effecting the conversion to Catholicism of Reccared the Visigothic king of Spain. |
 | | In 585 Leovigild put to death his intransigent son Hermenegild, who is a martyr and saint of the Roman Catholic Church, and himself died in 589. |
 | | It is not known exactly when Leander returned from exile, but he had a share in the conversion of Reccared the heir of Leovigild, and retained an influence over him. |
