714


Age: 26y
714 • In Septimania local Visigothic nobles of the anti-Roderick party are offered peace terms similar to those of prince Theudimer (see 713) and accept Muslim overlordship. Other Visigoths revolt and proclaim Ardo as king. Visigothic refugees gather in the Picos de Europa in the mountains of Asturias.
