Page "Roderic" Paragraph 14

According to a ninth-century chronicle, a tombstone with the inscription Hic requiescit Rodericus, rex Gothorum ( here rests Roderic, king of the Goths ) was found at Egitania ( modern Idanha-a-Velha, Portugal ).

According to the legend of Nazaré the king fled the battlefield alone.

Roderic left a widow, Egilo, who later married one of the Arabic governors of Hispania.
