Reccimer or Ricimer (610 – 631) was the son of King Suintila of the Visigothic Kingdom and co-king with his father.

Life

Born in 610, he became governor of Toledo in 625, with his uncle Geila as regent. Reccimer was installed as co-king in 626. His father became unpopular for attempting to make the monarchy hereditary.[1]

In 631, the governor of Septimania, Sisenand, declared himself king with the aid of the Franks and deposed Suintila. Reccimer died that year in Zaragoza.[2]
