Reccared II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reccared II (in Spanish and Portuguese, Recaredo) was Visigothic King of Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) briefly in 621. His father and predecessor was Sisebut. He was but a child when placed on the throne and as with most Visigothic attempts to establish a royal dynasty, Sisebut's was opposed by the nobility and ultimately failed.

His death allowed the strongman and general Suintila to accede to the throne.
