History of the Franks
St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 8, 46. Of King Leuvigild’s Death
Leuvigild, king of Spain, now fell ill. Some say that he repented him of his heresy, and embraced the Catholic faith, commanding that no man henceforth should be found consenting to Arian error; and that then he was continually in tears for seven days on account of all the evil which he had done against God, after which he gave up the ghost.1 Recared, his son, reigned in his stead.
Notes
- Leuvigild really died in the preceding year, 586.
