Notes


ATANAGILDO ([520/25]-Toledo 568). His birth date range is estimated from the birth date range of his second daughter Brunechildis, who gave birth to her first child shortly after her marriage in 566. Iordanes records that "Atanagildus" rebelled against King Agila. Isidore of Seville records that Atanagildo was at Seville when Agila was killed by the Goths and that they "handed themselves over to the rule of Athanagild…in the era 592 (554)." He sought Byzantine support and was ceded the coastal territories between Cádiz and Valencia in 552. He strengthened his position with the arrival of Byzantine reinforcements and deposed King Agila in 554, succeeding as ATANAGILDO King of the Visigoths. He moved his capital in Spain from Barcelona to Toledo in [554], symbolizing a change in the political center of the Visigothic kingdom away from the remnants of their kingdom around Toulouse. Having helped King Atanagildo to power, the Byzantines remained and attempted to expand their control to the west in Spain, but the king was able to enforce a territorial agreement with them which limited their authority to south-east Spain. Seville rebelled against central Visigothic authority in 555, followed by Córdoba. The "Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica" records the death of "Athanaildus rex Gothorum in Hispania" in 568. The "Chronicon Albeldense" records that “Atanagildus” died naturally in Toledo during the reign of Emperor Justinian. Isidore of Seville records that Atanagildo ruled for fourteen years. The "Chronica Regum Visigotthorum" records that “Athanagildus” reigned for 15 years, six months, or 14 years. m as her first husband, GOSVINTA, daughter of --- (-589). Her two marriages are confirmed by the "Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica," which records the marriage in 569 of "Leovegildus germanus Livvani regis" and "Gosuintham relictam Athanaildi." Nothing is known about her family origin, but her connection with Arianism, recorded in primary sources after her second marriage, suggests that she may have been of Visigothic origin. She married secondly Leovigildo King of the Visigoths. Gregory of Tours names "Goiswinth, mother of Brunhild,,as wife of Leovegildo. She contributed to the difficulties, which culminated in the rebellion of her stepson Hermenegildo, by trying to force the latter's wife to convert to Arianism. The "Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica" records that Gosvinta was the focus of a plot to restore the Arian faith in 589. King Atanagildo & his wife had two children: a) GALSWINTHA ... ... b) BRUNECHILDIS
