St. Hermengild [Hermengildo]

April 13

D. 585

 Son of Leovigild, Arian Visigoth King of Spain, he was raised an Arian but was converted to orthodoxy by his wife, Indegundis, daughter of King Sigebert of Austrasia. When Leovigild disinherited him because of his conversion, Hermenegild led a revolt against his father. Unable to secure aid from the Eastern Emperor or the Romans, he was defeated by his father at Seville but was reconciled with him. Later Leovigild demanded he return to Arianism, and when he refused, Leovigild had him axed to death.
