Reccared II

Reccared II (in Spanish, Galician and Portuguese, Recaredo) is Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania and Galicia briefly in 621.

His father and predecessor is Sisebut and his mother is his second wife, the bastard daughter of Reccared I by Floresinda.

He is but a child when placed on the throne and, as with most Visigothic attempts to establish a royal dynasty, Sisebut's is opposed by the nobility and ultimately failed.

His death allows his maternal half-uncle, the strongman and general Suintila, to accede to the throne.
