Suebic Kingdom Of Galicia
The Kingdom of the Suebi, sometimes called the Kingdom of Galicia, was a Germanic post-Roman kingdom, the first one or one of the first ones to separate de facto from the Roman Empire and to mint coins. Based in the lands then known as Gallaecia and northern Lusitania, it was established about 410 as the ethnic kingdom of the Suebi, later, during the 6th century, becoming a territorial kingdom and identifying with Galicia itself. It maintained its independence until 585, when it was forcibly annexed by the Visigoths, and turned into the sixth province of their Kingdom of Toledo.

Famous quotes containing the word kingdom:
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
