In Visigoth Hispania, the most common method of succession was assassination. King Basis reigned Hispania, and he lived in his castle with his son, Tales. Basis was a good king who cared for the citizens of Hispania and had a form of government that everyone accepted. However, his son Tales was a cruel person who only cared about himself and wanted to become the king of Hispania. To accomplish that, he would have to kill his father, so he devised a plan.

One day, King Basis received a letter that read, “Your reign will end soon.” When the king read the letter, he got scared thinking they wanted to kill him.

The mother discovered, after investigating, that her child who was the current king had killed all his brothers so that he could be king.
