Reccared I (or Recared; Latin: Flavius Reccaredus; Spanish: Flavio Recaredo; c. 559 – December 601; reigned 586–601) was the king of the Visigoths, ruling in Hispania, Gallaecia and Septimania. His reign marked a climactic shift in history, with the king's renunciation of Arianism in favour of Nicene Christianity in 587.
