After the defeat of king Roderic at the Battle of Guadalete in 711 or 712, Theudimer resisted the invading Arabs and Berbers, but he was eventually defeated in pitched battle and made peace with the Muslim emir Abd al-Aziz ibn Musa.

Conor, son of Hugh, the son of Roderic, made his escape from the English, and the sons of the chiefs of Connaught assembled around him, and they made an incursion into the Tuathas ; but Conor, with Gilla Ceallaigh Ó hEidhin, and Gilchreest, the son of Donough Mac Dermot, and many others along with them, were slain by the people of the Tuathas.

A cavalry wing that had secretly pledged to rebel against Roderic stood aside, giving the enemy an opening.

The Chronicle of Alfonso III, in both its versions, blames the anonymous " sons of Wittiza " for conspiring against Roderic.

The historian Jean de Jaurgain cites him as fighting in 711 against the Visigoth Roderic in Pamplona.

After the decisive Battle of Guadalete against the usurper Roderic and the defection to the Saracens of the legitimate heirs to the throne, the Visigothic kingdom splintered into client-kingdoms of the Ummayads and over the following decade most of the Iberian Peninsula was further occupied and brought under Muslim sovereignty, save for mountainous areas in the north-west ( Galicia, Asturias ) and northern mountainous areas defended successfully by the Basques with the assistance of the Franks.

His other two sons, who joined Musa bin Nusair and Tariq ibn Ziyad against Roderic, were Don Oppas, Archbishop or Bishop of Seville, maybe a bastard son, and Sisebuto, who later became the Comes of the Christians of Coimbra, as were his son Ataulfo, his grandson Atanarico and his great-grandson Teudo in 770, 801 / 802 and 805.

Roderic, also, who a short time before had incestuously married the daughter of Rhys, related to him by blood in the third degree, in order, by the assistance of that prince, to be better able to defend himself against the sons of his brothers, whom he had disinherited, not paying attention to the wholesome admonitions of the archbishop on this subject, was a little while afterwards dispossessed of all his lands by their means ; thus deservedly meeting with disappointment from the very source from which he expected support.

* The dialogue scene before " There grew a little flower " ( No. 25 ) was considerably shortened ; the first version exploring the topsy-turvy idea that if Sir Roderic and Dame Hannah were married, her husband would be a ghost, and she would therefore be a wife and a widow at the same time ( this concept was recycled in The Grand Duke ).

It is possible that Roderic was probably the dux ( duke ) of Baetica before coming to the throne.

Perhaps Oppa had been declared king at Toledo by Roderic and Achila's rivals, either before Roderic's final defeat or between his death and the Arab capture of Toledo.

It was the name of Roderic, the last Visigothic King before the Muslim conquest, and the subject of many legends.

It is possible that an ecclesiastic named Oppa was declared king at Toledo by rivals of both Roderic and Achila, either before Roderic's defeat and death at the Battle of the Guadalete or between his death and the Arab capture of Toledo.

After the defeat of king Roderic at the Battle of Guadalete, according to the Chronicle of 754, the Arabs under Tariq ibn Ziyad marched as far as Toledo, but Oppa, who was staying there, fled the city before they took it.

Perhaps Oppa had been elected, declared, or even consecrated king at Toledo by rivals of both Roderic and his opponent Achila II, either before Roderic's final defeat or between his death and the Arab capture of Toledo.

Crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, they won a decisive victory in the summer of 711 when the Visigothic King Roderic was defeated and killed on July 19 at the Battle of Guadalete.

The kingdom survived until 711, when King Roderic ( Rodrigo ) was killed while opposing an invasion from the south by the Umayyad Muslims in the Battle of Guadalete on July 19.

* The second revivification of the ghosts was dropped, with only Roderic being revived.

At the time of the Muslim invasion in 711, the Visigothic king Roderic was fighting the Basques in Pamplona and had to turn his attention to the new enemy coming from the south.

The Battle of Guadalete was fought in 711 or 712 at an unidentified location between the Christian Visigoths of Hispania under their king, Roderic, and an invading force of Muslim Arabs and Berbers under Ṭāriq ibn Ziyad.

According to al-Maqqarī, Roderic was fighting the Basques when he was recalled to the south to deal with an invasion.

According to ʻAbd al-Ḥakam, Ṭāriq was marching from Cartagena to Córdoba — after defeating a Gothic army that tried to stop him — when he met Roderic in battle near Shedunya, probably modern Medina Sidonia.

Among the legends which have accrued to the history of the battle, the most prominent is that of Count Julian, who, in revenge for the rape of ( or affair with ) his daughter Florinda ( the later Cava Rumía or Doña Cava ) by Roderic while the youth was being raised at the palace school, supposedly lent Ṭāriq the necessary ships for launching an invasion.

Muslim and Christian sources quote that while Musa bin Nusayr was eager to cross the strait across the sea to Hispania, he was only encouraged to do so when a Visigoth nobleman, Julian of Ceuta, had come to Musa encouraging him to invade Iberia, telling him of the people's sufferings and the injustice of their king, Roderic, while giving him cause for opened by telling him of the riches that would be found, and the many palaces, gardens and beauties of Hispania.

One of Musa's sons, Abd al-Aziz ibn Musa, married an Iberian woman, who was either the daughter or wife of Roderic.

Its existence was first suggested in 1905 by the British physiologist John Sydney Edkins, and gastrins were isolated in 1964 by Roderic Alfred Gregory and Tracy at the University of Liverpool.

Current continuity has it that he was shot by a criminal named Matilda Roderic, who was presumably a reincarnation of the evil priest Hath-Set, who is apparently destined to kill Khufu in every life.

Ruderic ( also spelled Roderic, Roderik, Roderich, or Roderick ; Spanish and Portuguese: Rodrigo, ; died 711 or 712 ) was the Visigothic King of Hispania for a brief period between 710 and 712.

According to the late Chronicle of Alfonso III, Roderic was a son of Theodefred, himself a son of king Chindaswinth, and of a lady named Riccilo.

It is probable that the " invasion " was not from outside the kingdom ; because the word regnum can refer to the office of the king, it is likely that Roderic merely usurped the throne.

Nonetheless, it is possible that Roderic was a regional commander ( dux of Baetica in later, legendary sources ) or even an exile when he staged his coup.

Some scholars believe that the king Achila, who ruled in opposition to Roderic, was in fact Wittiza's son and successor and that Roderic had tried to usurp the throne from him.

Some supporters of Achila may have deserted Roderic on his final campaign.

In the revised ending substituted by Gilbert after the premiere, only Sir Roderic comes back to life.

It is possible that his enemies intended to abandon Roderic on the field, to be defeated and killed by the Muslims.

It is said that Julian wished the fall of the Visigothic kingdom because his daughter had been raped by Roderic.

Three weeks after his landing, the Muslims were faced with a superior Visigoth army of nearly 20, 000 led by King Roderic.

It had been held by the Liberal MP, Roderic Bowen, until his defeat by Labour's Elystan Morgan in 1966.

They were first discussed in modern times by Roderic O ' Flaherty ( 1685 ), who took them at face value.

That Roderic and Achila never appear to have come into military conflict is probably best explained by the preoccupation of Roderic with Arab raids and not to a formal division of the kingdom.

Roderic has been the subject of two operas: Rodrigo by George Frideric Handel and Don Rodrigo by Alberto Ginastera.

The first bridge that is known to have been built at this point was erected as a " spacious stone bridge of 18 arches " by Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair ( Anglicised Roderic O ' Connor ), the King of Connacht, around 1049.
