LEOVIGILDO, son of --- ([525/30]-Toledo [Apr/May] 586).

m firstly ([550/55]) ---.

The name of King Leovigildo’s first wife is not known. The Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica records that "duosque filios suos [Leovigildi]…Hermenegildem et Reccaredum" were born "ex amissa coniuge" but does not name their mother[213].

Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Teodosia, hija de Seberiano Duque de Cartagena y de Teodora" as the wife of King Leovigildo and mother of his two sons[214]. The primary source on which this statement is based is not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. It is not known whether this first wife died or was repudiated before King Leovigildo’s second marriage.

m secondly (569) as her second husband, GOSVINTA, widow of ATANAGILDO King of the Visigoths, daughter of --- (-589).

King Leovigildo & his first wife had two children:

• 1. HERMENEGILDO “the Holy” ([550/55]-murdered Tarragona 13 Apr 586). m (579) INGUNDIS [Ingonde] of the Franks, daughter of SIGEBERT I King of the Franks & his wife Brunechildis of the Visigoths ([567/68]-in Africa Autumn 586).
• 2. RECAREDO (-Toledo mid-Jun or Dec 601). The Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica names "duosque filios suos ex amissa coniuge Hermenegildem et Reccaredum" when recording that their father associated them in his rule in 573[231]. He was elected to succeed his father in 586 as RECAREDO King of the Visigoths.
