Reccared I

Reccared (or Recared; Latin: Reccaredus; Spanish: Recaredo) I (c. 559 – 31 May 601) (reigned 586–601) was Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania and Galicia. His reign marked a climactic shift in history, with the king's renunciation of Arianism in favour of Chalcedonian Christianity in 587.

Reccared was the younger son of King Leovigild by his first wife Theodosia. Like his father, Reccared had his capital at Toledo. The Visigothic kings and nobles were traditionally Arian Christians, while the Hispano-Roman population were Roman Catholics. The Catholic bishop Leander of Seville was instrumental in converting the elder son and heir of Leovigild, Hermenegild, to Catholicism. Leander supported his rebellion and was exiled for his role.

When King Leovigild died, within a few weeks of April 21, 586, bishop Leander was swift to return to Toledo. The new king had been associated with his father in ruling the kingdom and was acclaimed king by the Visigothic nobles without opposition.

    ROCKY ROAD

    by: Peter, Paul & Mary

    Red light, green light 'round the town
    I found a penny on the ground
    Met a friend I never know'd
    Walkin' down ol' rocky road
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
    All around the block, all around the town
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Jimmy, come out and play
    Well red light, green light and I'll be it today
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Hey, Jimmy Huggins your name's been called
    Come and stand beside the wall
    Pick a girl that you know well
    You can kiss and you can tell
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
    All around the block, all around the town
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Jenny, come out and play
    Red light, green light and I'll be it today
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Little Miss Jenny, don't you hide
    Papa's gonna take you for a pony ride
    One potato, two potato, three potato, four
    Cross the line and close the door
    Little Miss Jenny, don't you hide
    Papa's gonna take you for a pony ride
    One potato, two potato, three potato, four
    Cross the line and close the door
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
    All around the block, all around the town
    Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
    Red light, green light 'round the town
    I found a penny on the ground
    Met a friend I never know'd
