Excerpt from Christianity and Islam in Spain, A. D. 756 1031

For a time it seemed likely that the Suevi, in spite Of their late crushing defeat, would subject to themselves the whole of Spain, but under Theodoric II. And Euric, the Visigoths definitely asserted their superiority. Under the latter king the Gothic domination in Spain may be said to have begun about ten years before the fall Of the Western Empire. But the Goths were as yet by no means in possession of the whole of Spain. A large part Of the south was held by imperialist troops; for, though the Western Empire had been extinguished in 476, the Eastern emperor had succeeded by inheritance to all the outlying provinces, which had even nominally belonged to his rival in the West. Among these was some portion Of Spain.
