The Kingdom of Galicia (410-1833) was a kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula for two distinct periods. The Iberian Peninsula, or Iberia, is located in the extreme southwest of Europe, and includes modern day Spain, Portugal, Andorra In the first period, it was a barbarian monarchy ruled by the Suebi, a Germanic-speaking people who were enemies of Rome. Germanic monarchy, also called barbarian monarchy, was a monarchical systemof government which was predominant among the Germanic tribes of Late Antiquity The Suebi or Suevi (from Proto-Germanic * swēbaz based on the Proto-Germanic root * swē- meaning "one's own" The Germanic languages are a group of related languages that constitute a branch of the Indo-European (IE Language family.

Suebic Kingdom

The Suebic kingdom of Galicia lasted from 410 to 584 and seems to have enjoyed relatively stable government for most of that time.

In the beginning, Gallaecia was divided between two kingdoms, the kingdom of the Vandals Hasdingi and the kingdom of the Suebi. The Hasdingi were the southern tribes of the Vandals, an East Germanic tribe. Latter on, the kingdom of the Hasdingi was conquered by the Suebi when a war broke out between the Vandal Gunderic and the Suebi Hermeric. The Hasdingi were the southern tribes of the Vandals, an East Germanic tribe. Gunderic (379-428 King of the Vandals and Alans (407-428 led the Vandals, a Germanic tribe originally residing near the Oder Hermeric (died 441 was the Suevic King of Galicia from perhaps as early as 406 and certainly no later than 419 until his retirement in 438 The Suebi were helped by the Romans and the Vandal army fled to the kingdom of the Silingi Vandals in Baetica.

As with most Germanic invasions, the number of the original Suebi invaders is estimated at fewer than 30,000 (the number of the Vandals and Alans that passed into Africa were 50,000-80,000), settling mainly in the zones around modern Northern Portugal and Galicia, mainly in Braga (Bracara Augusta), Porto, Lugo (Lucus Augusta), and Astorga (Asturica Augusta). Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic (República Portuguesa is a country on the Iberian Peninsula.

Astorga is a small city and Episcopal see, located in the province of León of Spain. The valley of the Lima river is thought to have received the largest concentration of germanic settlers. Bracara Augusta, the modern city of Braga, became the capital of the Suebi, as it was previously the capital of the Gallaecian province. Suebic Gallaecia was larger than the modern region: it extended south to the Douro and to Ávila in the east. The Douro or Duero ( Latin: Durius, Spanish: Duero, Portuguese: Douro, pron.
