Eboric or Euric was the last legitimate Suevic King of Galicia.

Life

He was the adolescent son of Miro and Sisegutia or Siseguntia and he succeeded his father in 583, ruling for a year before being deposed by his mother's second husband, Audeca, who threw him in a monastery. His deposition gave the Visigothic king Leovigild casus belli to invade Galicia and remove Audeca from power.
