 theodemir or theudimerspanish: teodomiro, arabic: tudmÄ©r or tadmir. (died 743) was a visigothic comes (count) prominent in the southeast of carthaginensis (the region around murcia) during the last decades of the visigothic kingdom and for several years after the moorish conquest. he ruled seven cities in southeastern spain, mentioned in the treaty of orihuela that was preserved by the andalusian historian ibn adarÃ­ in the thirteenth century:"pacto de tudmir". orihuela, valentila (possibly an equivalent for valencia), alicante, mula, bigastro, eyya (probably ojÃ³s), and lorca.collins, the arab conquest of spain, 39&ndash;41. sometime probably during the joint reign of egica and wittiza, a byzantine fleet raided the coasts of southern iberia and was driven off by theudimer. the dating of this event is disputed: it may have occurred as part of leontios' expedition to relieve carthage, under assault by the arabs, in 697;collins, visigothic spain, 109. perhaps later, around 702; or perhaps late in wittiza's reign. what is almost universally accepted is that it was an isolated incident connected with other military activities (probably against the arabs or berbers) and not an attempt to reestablish the province of spania, lost in the 620s. as e. a. thompson states, "we know nothing whatever of the context of this strange event." after the defeat of king roderic at the battle of guadalete in 711 or 712, theudimer resisted the invading arabs and berbers, but he was eventually defeated in pitched battle and made peace with the muslim emir abd al-aziz ibn musa.thompson, 250.
