Flávio Alarico

Flávio Alarico, also known as Flávio Atanarico de Coimbra (c.715 - c.760) was a nobleman and 3rd Count of Coimbra.

[1][2][3][4] His title as Count of Coimbra positioned him as a significant figure in the region, as Coimbra became a key area in the Christian Reconquista and the eventual establishment of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Coimbra, like many other cities in early Al-Andalus, had a significant Christian population (known as Mozarabs), who were allowed to maintain their faith in exchange for paying the jizya (a tax levied on non-Muslims).

[5][6] The use of "count" (comes) in his title, a remnant of Visigothic nobility, reflects the continuation of older Roman and Gothic administrative traditions in the city.

[1] He married Toda (or Teuda) and they had a son: Flávio Teodósio (c.740 - 805).
