Count of CoimbraTeodorico de Coimbra (c.758 - c. 809), also known as Theodorico, was the 5th Count of Coimbra in the early 9th century.
Theodoric's rule over Coimbra was brief and tumultuous, reflecting the broader conflicts and power struggles of the Iberian Peninsula during that era. His life and leadership were deeply intertwined with the religious and political upheavals of the time, ultimately culminating in his death amid the Mozarabic revolts and the subsequent Islamic reconquest of Coimbra.
Biography
Born around 758, Teodorico was the son of Flávio Teodósio.
His tenure as Count was marked by significant challenges, particularly the Mozarabic revolts that erupted following King Alfonso II of Asturias's attack on Lisbon in 798. These uprisings persisted in the western regions until 809, when Islamic forces, led by Prince Hishâm ibn al-Hakam, seized Coimbra and reasserted control over the western Hispanic territories. Theodoric's association with the rebellious Mozarabic community likely led to his demise during this period.
He did not leave any descendants, and with his death, this branch of the lineage came to an end. His brother, Ataulfo, pursued an ecclesiastical career, while another brother, Hermenegildo, continued the family line.
