king of the Visigoths (680-687). It was great grandson of San Hermenegildo and grandson of King Leovigildo. Ervigio comes to the throne after the conspiracy during which drugged and tricked the king Wamba, for once in this state make him take the tonsure and habit, which again prevented him from being king. Ervigio probably led this conspiracy, along with the metropolitan of Toledo, Julian II (680-690), who anointed him as the new king.
Supported by the XII bishops convened the Council of Toledo (681) to legitimize his usurpation of the throne and put an end to the aspirations of Wamba. Apparently, this is not intended to give validity to his ordination, as had been done in a state of unconsciousness. The council confirmed Ervigio and dismissed the claims of Wamba, adopting the official version which received tonsural Wamba church and the holy oils voluntarily he would not survive a tough disease. Following his victory, he sent his predecessor Ervigio aa a monastery. This whole thing must have left many open wounds as it is mentioned in the chronicle of Alfonso III.
regard to legislative activities Ervigio reign, tried to secure the support of the nobility and clergy, returning possessions and wealth who had taken part in previous riots. We must mention the reduction of certain tax benefits and the elimination of others. It passed a law requiring people to participate in the military and some reforms were made Liber Recesvinto iudiciorum or Code, which favored the nobility, but above all the clergy, we must not forget that rose to power with the invaluable help the archbishop of Toledo. Several of the laws of the Code were partially modified, so that since that time, also known as Code Ervigio. Also rendered strong measures against the Jews, among which are: Not being able to have books contrary to Catholicism, prohibition celebrate Jewish holidays, duty to be baptized in the period of one year and other measures already taken in previous terms as not being able to have Christian slaves, etc; This reiteration in law shows that the measures are not applied rigorously. There is evidence of some clashes with the Arabs and attempted to land.
In an attempt to curry favor with the clergy and nobility, summoned two Councils in a short space of time, a symptom of the fragility of its mandate. In the Thirteenth Council of Toledo suppresses the bishops appointed by Wamba and the Fourteenth Council of Toledo gives nobles and clergy the right not to be imprisoned and being judged by their peers and granted amnesty those convicted of previous uprisings.
In order to secure the throne, married his daughter to Egic Cixilona, \u200b\u200ba nephew of Wamba, and seeking to unite the two families and prevent Wamba noble supporters of trying to regain power after his death.
In the 687, Ervigio ill and appointed as his successor his son Egic, whom he abdicated. He died on 15 November of that year
