Athanagild

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.12 sec.

Athanagild (died 568)

Visigoth king of Spain 534–48. As captain of the Spanish Goths, and with the help of a Roman force sent from Gaul by Emperor Justinian, he defeated and killed King Agila near Seville 534. Athanagild then became king of the Goths in Spain, and endeavoured to drive his Roman allies out of Spain. He was unsuccessful, but reigned for 14 years over that part of the country occupied by the Visigoths.

Brunehaut, one of his two daughters, married Sigebert, King of Metz.
