## Bio

Roderic became king of the Visigoths between 710 and 711, but his claim was contested from the start: he controlled only part of Hispania while a rival, Achila, held the rest. He faced a Basque rebellion and then the Umayyad invasion. In July 711 he met the invaders at the Battle of Guadalete, where he was defeated and killed. His widow, Egilona, is believed to have married Abd al-Aziz ibn Musa, the first Muslim governor of Hispania. Though often called "the last king of the Goths," that title technically belongs to Ardo, who ruled after him — but Roderic was the last to govern from Toledo, and his death marked the kingdom's collapse.
