Theudimer

Teodomiro ( Visigothic: Theudemir, Arabic: Tudmir; † 743 ) was in the years 713-743 a Visigoth ruler of the autonomous but under Moorish sovereignty Empire Todmir.

Teodomiro since 702 was governor in the area of ​​the cities of Alicante, Murcia and Cartagena within the Visigoth kingdom. As this was conquered by the Moors from 711, also fought Teodomiro against the invaders. Stood in the Treaty of Orihuela in 713 the Moors his territory and internal autonomy to the continued existence of one's own life, to the extent this annual tribute was paid to the governor of Al -Andalus in return, whose supremacy was thus recognized. Given this balance of power, it is probably reasonable, rather by a " rule Todmir " to speak as a " kingdom Todmir " because its independence was not that of Asturias comparable.

In contrast to historical treatises, received mostly briefly or not at the person Teodomiros, Ewald Banse claims in his Bedouin book that Teodomiro 've fought to Egicas times at the repulse of the Byzantine seaborne landing at Alicante ( Banse referred to him as Duke of Alicante) and 711 had fallen along with King Roderico in the fight against the Arabs. The edited by Peter Meyer Publisher Travel Guide Costa Blanca, in the historical introduction assumed, however, that Teodomiro have already built a counter rule against Egicas successor Witiza to 700 in Orihuela and possibly Teodomiro it was that the Arabs have 711 called.

Teodomiro died 743rd successor was Atanagildo ( Athanagild ).
