Reccared II
Encyclopedia : R : RE : REC : Reccared II
Reccared II (in Spanish, Recaredo) was king of the Visigoths in Hispania briefly in 621. His father and predecessor was Sisebut. 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 the strongman and general Swinthila to accede to the throne.
