Born around 758, Teodorico was the son of Flávio Teodósio, and was mentioned as count after 791. [1] [2]
His tenure as Count was marked by significant challenges, particularly the Mozarabic revolts that erupted following King Alfonso II of Asturias's attack on Lisbon in 798. [3] [4] These uprisings persisted in the western regions until 809, when Islamic forces, led by Prince Hishâm ibn al-Hakam, seized Coimbra and reasserted control over the western Hispanic territories. [5] Theodoric's association with the rebellious Mozarabic community likely led to his demise during this period.
Theodoric's rule over Coimbra was brief and tumultuous, reflecting the broader conflicts and power struggles of the Iberian Peninsula during that era. His life and leadership were deeply intertwined with the religious and political upheavals of the time, ultimately culminating in his death amid the Mozarabic revolts and the subsequent Islamic reconquest of Coimbra.

The Kingdom of León was an independent kingdom situated in the northwest region of the Iberian Peninsula. It was founded in 910 when the Christian princes of Asturias along the northern coast of the peninsula shifted their capital from Oviedo to the city of León. The kings of León fought civil wars, wars against neighbouring kingdoms, and campaigns to repel invasions by both the Moors and the Vikings, all in order to protect their kingdom's changing fortunes.
