Sisebuto, rey de los visigodos

Sisebut (Latin: Sisebutus,[1] Spanish: Sisebuto; also Sisebuth, Sisebur, Sisebod or Sigebut) (c. 565 – February 621) was King of the Visigoths and ruler of Hispania and Septimania from 612 until his death.

Biography

He campaigned successfully against the remains of East Roman power in Spania,[2] strengthened Visigothic control over the Basques and Cantabrians, developed friendly relations with the Lombards of Italy, and reinforced the fleet which had been established by his predecessor Leovigild.

Sisebut was known for his devout piety to Chalcedonian Christianity. In 612, upon his accession to the throne, he forced his Jewish subjects to convert to Christianity.[3] In 616, he ordered that those Jews who refused to convert to Christianity be punished with the lash. He was closely associated and amicable with the scholar and encyclopaedist Isidore, bishop of Seville, and is usually regarded as the author of a Latin poem on astronomy, Carmen de Luna or Praefatio de Libro Rotarum,[2] dedicated to a friend who is identified with Isidore.

He had a son, who succeeded him as Reccared II.[4]

1. SISEBUTO (-620). Fredegar records that, before his accession, he "had won Cantabria, previously held by the Franks, for the Gothic kingdom"[261]. He succeeded in 612 as SISEBUTO King of the Visigoths. Isidore of Seville records that Sisebuto ruled after Gundamaro for eight years and six months, "forced the Jews into the Christian faith" and "brought the rebellious Asturians under his dominion…overcame the Ruccones", adding that "some claim that he died a natural death, others that he died as a result of some medication"[262]. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Sisebutus” reigned for eight years, eleven months and 16 days, otherwise six months[263]. m ---.

The name of Sisebuto's wife is not known. King Sisebuto & his wife had [two] children:

• a) RECAREDO (-621). Isidore of Seville records that Sisebuto left a small son Recaredo who "was recognised as king for a few days after the death of his father until his own death intervened"[264]. He succeeded his father in 620 as RECAREDO II King of the Visigoths. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “item Reccaredus” reigned for three years and a few days[265].
• b) [THEODORA. Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Teodora hija del Rey Sisebuto" as the wife of King Suíntila (and as mother of "Suintila II Rey de España", who never existed)[266]. The primary sources on which these statements is based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. m (before 621) SUÍNTILA, son of RECAREDO I King of the Visigoths & his second wife --- (after 594-633). He succeeded in 621 as SUÍNTILA King of the Visigoths. Fredegar records that "Sintela" succeeded on the death of "Sisebodo regis"[267].]
