| Visigoth domination of the Iberian Peninsula reached a high point during the reign of Leovigild, who ruled with his brother Liuva I from 568 to 572. Following Liuva's death in 572, Leovigild ruled alone for 40 more years. The brothers are shown here, with Liuva on the left, in a miniature painting from the 11th-century Semblanza de reyes (Biographies of Kings), now in the National Library in Madrid, Spain. |
