Sisenand or Sisinand (605-636): A Vision of Regal Majesty in the 7th Century Visigothic Kingdom This evocative engraving captures the enigmatic presence of Sisenand or Sisinand, the Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania, and Galicia, who ruled from 631 to 636. The image, a testament to the artistic prowess of the mediaeval age, invites us to delve into the rich history of the Iberian Peninsula during the early Middle Ages. Sisenand's regal bearing is evident in his confident posture and the regal attire adorned with intricate patterns. His crown, a symbol of his monarchical power, rests atop his head, while a scepter in one hand and an orb in the other underscore his authority. The inscription below the image, 'IV CONSUL,' signifies that Sisenand held the consulship, a significant honor bestowed upon him during his reign. The historical context of this portrait is noteworthy. During Sisenand's rule, the Third Council of Toledo was convened in 633, which played a crucial role in the consolidation of the Visigothic Church and the establishment of a unified legal code for the kingdom. This council, one of the most influential in the history of the Visigothic Kingdom, solidified Sisenand's legacy as a visionary monarch. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 7th century, where Sisenand, a powerful and enlightened ruler, presided over the Visigothic Kingdom, shaping its history and leaving an indelible mark on the annals of the Iberian Peninsula.
