Reccared II (in Spanish, Galician and Portuguese, Recaredo), (? – March 621) was Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania and Galicia briefly in 621, [1] though the length of the reign exactly is debated to last from several days to just over a year. [2]
His father and predecessor was Sisebut. [3] He was but a child when placed on the throne and as with most Visigothic attempts to establish a royal dynasty, Sisebut's was opposed by the nobility and ultimately failed.
His death allowed his general, the strongman Suintila, to accede to the throne.
