Galliciense Regnum

Galicia was the first kingdom of Western Europe. And it was one of the oldest for centuries: it begun in the year 409 and finished in 1833. The Suebic Kingdom is also known as the "Galliciense Regnum", in Latin language, spoken at that time, the "Galician Kingdom". This was also one of the three kingdoms under the Visigothic Crown, since 585, with Hispania and Septimania -from the "Gallia Septimania", currently in France and Catalonia-. When Hispanic Kingdom got muslim, in 711, Galician Kingdom was independent again, but keeping a continuity. In fact, the first kings were relatives of the last king of Galicia under the Visigothic Crown, Witiza. The courts were established in Oviedo, in Asturias, at that time a Galician region. Later, the Galician kings put the capital city in Leon, another Galician city at the High Middle Ages. So, there were not "Kings of Asturias" or "Kings of Leon". There where only "Kings of Galicia" until Xth century, when the Kingdoms of Leon and Asturias were created and became independent from Galicia for the first time. However, these kingdoms, later with Castile, were under the Galician Crown until XIIIrd century.

Asturias, Leon, Portugal or Coimbra were parts of Galicia, as Central Galicia. Oviedo, Leon, Xixon, Porto, Navia, Bragança, Chaves, Viana do Castelo or Vilafranca do Bierzo were Galician cities, like Lugo, Ourense, Pontevedra, Santiago or Corunna. In fact, Asturians, Artabrians, Lucenses, Pretamaricans, Postamaricans, Callaeci, etc., were Galician tribes at the time of the ancient Gallaecia, before the arrival of the Roman legions. It changed at the Low Middle Ages, after the foundation of several kingdoms which only then begun to be different from Northwestern, or Central, Galicia. However, today the people from Asturias, Leon or Northern Portugal conserve an important part of their ancient Galician culture and heritage, such as the language -there are thousands of Asturian and Leonese Galician-speakers-, the music, the clothes or the gastronomy.

The last king of Galicia was John of Gaunt, John II of Galicia, at the end of XIVth century. But Galicia existed as a kingdom until XIXth century: when Spanish Crown lost its territories in continental America after Napoleonic Wars, the Spanish kings looked at the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsule in order to colonize them even more. Two hundred years ago, 99 per cent of Galicians were Galician-speakers, but today less than 60 per cent speak Galician language (over one million and a half citizens). Even by this way, however, Galicia is currenly the only one 'historical' nation, and the only one autonomous community, under the Spanish Kingdom/State, where Castilian/Spanish is not the most spoken language. 19:38, 29 April 2010 ~~85.91.69.59~~

Interesting facts

  • Interesting fact, the kings being called Galician.
  • I'm most interested in the transition of the Visigoths to the Moors and the Christian states. these is the most badly explained and while studying local history, I tried hard to find data from the Moor period in and around the city, and all that I got was just misconceptions But there is a "carreira mourisca" (Moorish route) running throw Povoa de Varzim, and it appears as early as 953. "et inde per carraria maurisca et inde ad archa qui sta super ipsa villa". It seems that Northern Portugal was stateless and kept being Christian after the invasion. This must be true also in Galicia, explaining the survival of so many irrelevant Germanic names. If the moors controlled it, those would be forgotten. One thing is that it seems the local landlords kept in the land too. --Pedro (talk) 16:55, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hm now I know what Carraria Mourisca is, it was part of Via Veteres, a Roman Road to Cividade de Terroso and the Roman mines.--Pedro (talk) 21:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fabrication

A Kingdom of Galicia hasn never existed, or better said it has never existed in the way the galician nationalist want to make us believe. They claim the suebinan kingdom to be the first phase of their kingdom and Hermenaric to be the first king of Galicia. While it is true that the Kingdom of the Suevi has sometimes been refered as the Kingdom of Galaecia, Regnum Galaeciae , it doesent´t change that Galicia and Galaecia are not identical as Galecia also includes parts of the neiboring regions of Asturia and northern Portugal. And even if you equate Galicia with Galaecia, it doesen´ change that the kingdom ceased to exist in 585 when it was conquered by the visigoths. The article claims the the kingdom was part of the Visigothic monarchy or the VIsigothic crown as if the visigothic kingdom was somewhat of personal or dynastic union similar to the crown of arragon or the crown of castille, but such a concept diddn´t exist back than , ther was only one kingdom the kingdom of the visigoths refered to Rgnum Visigotorum in Latin sources. After the muslim conquest the region was briefly occupied by the moors and while some people here have argued the the region never camed under de-facto moorish rule, it doesnt´t mean that a Kingdom of Galicia of any shape or form existed on the territory. In any case the region was quickly reconquered by the kingdom of Asturia, but again ther was(it this point) only one kingdom, the kingdom of Asturia. Might be that an independent or semi-independant Kingdom of Galicia existed durring the high middel ages within the crown of castille, but the continuity from the the suebi , the claim that galicia was one of the first Kindoms and europe etc. its all a fabrication .
