Reccared I

Reccared I was a Visigothic king who ruled from 586 to 601 AD. He is best known for converting to Christianity and adopting the Catholic faith, moving away from Arianism, which was a belief that denied the divinity of Jesus. This conversion was significant as it marked a shift in the Visigothic kingdom towards alignment with the wider Christian world, fostering unity among his people and strengthening ties with the Catholic Church. Reccared also convened the Third Council of Toledo, which addressed church laws and governance, further solidifying the role of Christianity in Visigothic society.
