Suniefred

Suniefred (fl.

c. 700) was a Visigothic nobleman who rebelled during the reign of Egica and briefly ruled as king from Toledo.

A single coin that is related stylistically to those of the sole reign of Egica indicates that a king of the name of SVNIEFREDVS seized power in Toledo at some point in these years, and for long enough to have the mint start issuing in his name.

[1] Suniefred is probably the same person as the "chief cupbearer and duke" of the same name in the canons of the Thirteenth Council of Toledo (683).
