Key Kings (The "Gotta" Rulers)
Hermeric (409–438): Founder. Secured Gallaecia via treaty with Rome.
Rechila (438–448): Conquered Mérida and Seville, nearly uniting Iberia under Suebic rule.
Rechiar (448–456): First Germanic king to convert to Arian Christianity. Fought the Visigoths and was captured and executed by King Theodoric II of the Visigoths. After Rechiar’s death, the kingdom fragmented.
Remismund (464–469): Reunified the Suebi under a pro-Visigoth policy.
The Dark Age (469–550): Very little known. Civil wars, paganism resurfacing, Catholic–Arian conflict.
Carriaric (c. 550): Converted to Catholicism (miracle story: his son healed by the relics of Saint Martin of Braga).
Theodemir (561–570): Last powerful Suebic king. Held a Catholic council in Braga (572 AD) that condemned Arianism and Priscillianism (a local ascetic heresy).
Miro (570–583): Allied with the Visigothic king Liuvigild, then betrayed him. Miro died returning from a failed campaign.
Audeca (583–585): Usurper. The Visigothic king Liuvigild invaded, defeated Audeca, forced him into a monastery, and annexed Gallaecia.
