Reccared II


Reccared II, was Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania and Galicia briefly in 621, though the length o the reign exactly is debated to last from several days to just over a year. His father and predecessor was Sisebut and his mother was Sisebut's second wife, the bastard daughter of Reccared I by Floresinda. 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 his maternal half-uncle, the strongman and general Suintila, to accede to the throne.
