Andeca
Andeca was the Suevi king of Galicia (584-585) who assassinated[citation needed] Eboric and took Miro's widow (Eboric's mother), Siseguntia, as a wife. He was proclaimed king by the insurrectionist nobility which wanted to wrest control of their state from the Visigoths with whom Miro, Euric's father, had made peace treaties. The Visigothic king Leovigild used this as an excuse to intervene once more in Suevi affairs. Leovigild deposed of Andeca and sent him to a monastery. At this moment, a pretender, Malaric, arose, but had no real power; the Suevi were subsumed within the Visigothic nation.
