===Migration=== Suebi under king [[Hermeric]], probably coming from the Alemanni, the Quadi, or both,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=López Quiroga |first1=Jorge |title=Elementos foráneos en las necrópolis tardorromanas de Beiral (Ponte de Lima, Portugal) y Vigo (Pontevedra, España): de nuevo la cuestión del siglo V d. C. en la Península Ibérica |journal=CuPAUAM |date=2001 |volume=27 |pages=115–124 |url=https://www.uam.es/otros/cupauam/pdf/Cupauam27/2706.pdf |access-date=2 July 2018}}</ref> worked their way into the south of France, eventually crossing the [[Pyrenees]] and entering the [[Iberian Peninsula]] which was no longer under Imperial rule since the rebellion of [[Gerontius (magister militum)|Gerontius]] and [[Maximus of Hispania|Maximus]] in 409. Passing through the [[Basque Country (historical territory)|Basque country]], they settled in the Roman province of [[Gallaecia]], in north-western [[Hispania]] (modern [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], [[Asturias]], and the northern half of [[Portugal]]), where, swearing fealty to Emperor [[Honorius (emperor)|Honorius]], they were accepted as ''[[foederati]]'' and permitted to settle under their own autonomous governance. Contemporaneously with the self-governing province of [[Sub-Roman Britain|Britannia]], the kingdom of the Suebi in Gallaecia became the first of the sub-Roman kingdoms to be formed in the disintegrating territory of the Western Roman Empire. Suebic Gallaecia was the first kingdom separated from the Roman Empire to mint coins. The Suebic kingdom in [[Gallaecia]] and northern [[Lusitania]] was established in 409 and lasted until 585. Smaller than the [[Ostrogoths|Ostrogothic]] kingdom of Italy or the [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] kingdom in [[Hispania]], it reached a relative stability and prosperity—and even expanded military southwards—despite the occasional quarrels with the neighbouring Visigothic kingdom.
