Hilderic of Nîmes

Hilderic or Hilderuc was Visigothic count of Nîmes during the reigns of Recceswinth and Wamba.[1] Immediately upon the latter's accession in 672, Hilderic rebelled. Many oppressed Jews joined this rebellion. When Wamba sent the Duke Paul to end the hostilities, the latter became a rebel himself in Septimania (Narbonensis and Tarraconensis). Hilderic's fate is unknown, though Wamba crushed the rebels, he let Paul live.
