About this person

While various writers have attempted to name his parentage,, early sources say nothing more specific than the chronicle of 'Pseudo-Alfonso': that he was "ex semine Leuvigildi et Reccaredi progenitus", and even this has been challenged as a possible politically motivated fiction created to support his descendants' later claim to exclusive kingship. He was the father of King Alfonso I and of Fruela of Cantabria, father of kings Aurelius and Bermudo I.
