Severianus of Cartagena

Doque Severiano Severianus de Cartagene

Both Severianus and Theodora belonged to notable Hispano-Roman families of high social rank. They were members of an influential family who were instrumental in the political-religious maneuvering that converted the Visigothic kings from Arianism to Catholicism. The Catholic Church celebrates their children as known saints:

Severianus de Cartagena was born circa 500.1 He married Theodora, daughter of Theudericus Magnus, rex Italiae and Theodora (?), before 530.1 Severinus of Cartagena emigrated from Carthage leaving 554; The family went to Seville.2
