October 456 CE
The Visigoths, in their campaign against the Suebi, brutally sack Braga, the Suebi capital, reducing it to ruins and burning its churches to the ground.
King Rechiar is captured and later executed, marking a devastating blow to Suebi power.
Despite this defeat, remnants of the Suebi kingdom survive under King Maldras (r. 456–460) and a series of rival claimants, as internal divisions fragment their rule.
