The argument of the tragedy Is as
follows:
renounces Arianism and processes allie
glance to the true church.
| Leovig's indignation at this unex-
pected conversion is made greater by
red of Argimund, the proud Duke Of the
| VisigoNhs.
Despite the appeals of Reared and
the protests. Of Theoodoric. the King de-
poses Hermigild and banishes him from
the realm. lncensed at this unjust de-
cree the people of Seville revolt
against the King.
A reasonable document, forged by
Argimund, prevents reconciliation be-
tween the King and Hermigild, who
is condemned to death.
When the forgery is discovered, Re-
cared and Theodric hasten to save the
prince. but arrive too late. He has just
received the martyrs crown at the
hands of the fierce Sisbert.
