  • In 407 AD, the peace in the Roman controlled Iberian peninsula was disrupted. Having recently migrated from the middle Danube, crossed the Rhine, invaded and pillaged Gallia, Vandals, Alans and Suebi traversed the Pyrenees mountains. Entering and ravaging the fresh lands of Hispania for two years, they soon sought to settle in the province.

    Honestly the most overlooked part of Portuguese history, the suebic kingdom layed the foundations for the County of Portugal by increasing the relevance of Bracara Augusta and Portus Cale, centralizing political and religious power. The spaniards pay a lot of respect to their visigothic predecessors, its about time Portugal does the same with the Suebi.

      I once made a point in another video on how the Suebians can safely be considered the first people to speak portuguese, as some of the inovations that are unique to the portuguese language (as far as romance languages go), namely the way that the days of the week are called, were first adopted by the people living in the diocese of Braga at the 6th century, which, if I'm not mistaken, at that point encompassed the entirety of the Suevic kingdom

    Great Video! I would love to see similar videos done on other Germanic tribes, like the Ostrogoths in particular. From their settlement in Pannonia to their acquisition of Italy their timeline is very obscure. Especially when looking on maps for dates like 476 CE and still seeing them settled in Pannonia even though Theodoric and his father had likely taken the bulk of the Ostrogoths into the Eastern Roman Empire in 473 CE.

    Excellent video. Thanks for your work. From this content and what is known, I'm guessing northwest Iberia remained in Visigoth control after the fall of the Suebi for only around 100 years before the Moors invaded? This means that, in that particular area, the Suebi occupation was longer and probably had more influence in local language and culture than the Visigoth. Interesting. People should dig deeper the connection between the Suebi and the portuguese/galician.

    • @ancientsight

    Both Suevi and Vandals were Slavic and spoke Slavic language, yes they were Germanic but all ancient Germania spoke Slavic language. The proper ancient, both Roman and Greek, spelling was "Suevi" which was deliberately altered in XIX century by Bismarck propagandists to "Suebi" in order to fit their false imperial legend. Alans were a part of Sarmatians and Scythes who also were close both genetically and linguistically to Slavs.
