Years: 710 - 710

Visigothic king Wittiza, who had suffered the Jews to return to Spain, dies in 710, leaving two young sons, for whom Wittiza's widow and family try to secure the succession.

The turbulent Visigothic nobility instead elects Roderick and drives the Wittizans from Toledo.

Roderick, who seems to have been dux or military commander of one of the provinces, perhaps Baetica, faces a revolt of the Basques and is never recognized in the Northeast.

Meanwhile, Wittiza's family, determined to oust Roderick, has made contact with the Muslims in North Africa.
