History of the Franks

St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927

Book 4, 8. Of the Kings of Spain

King Agila, who now reigned in Spain, oppressed the people with the exceeding heavy yoke of his tyranny. Wherefore the army of the emperor1 entered the country, and overran several cities. Agila was slain, and Athanagild2 received the kingdom. Who afterwards waged many wars against that army, and often vanquished it, taking from it in part the cities which it had wrongfully invaded.
