Resumo
Povo belicoso e com uma trajetória marcada por usurpações seguidas de assassinatos, os visigodos se estabeleceram em Hispania no século V, enfrentando ainda no século VII instabilidades políticas advindas do choque de interesses entre os grupos nobiliárquicos, os quais disputavam o posto real. Buscando lançar o olhar sobre essas relações, a proposta de pesquisa analisa a interação entre Igreja e Monarquia na sociedade visigoda, haja vista que a instituição religiosa se tornou o pilar da realeza a partir da conversão oficial ao catolicismo em 589, tendo adquirido também funções políticas. Nesse sentido, o cerne da investigação reside em se aproximar do contexto em que, contando com o apoio da instituição religiosa sob a liderança de Isidoro de Sevilha, Sisenando (631-636) tomou o poder destronando Suintila (621-631). Por meio da Análise do Discurso, buscou-se lançar luz sobre as atas do IV Concílio de Toledo em 633, reunião na qual Sisenando foi legitimado ao mesmo tempo em que se difamou o destronado. Assim, a metodologia utilizada ajudou a compreender os mecanismos adotados pela Igreja para validar a insurreição, além de analisar as discrepâncias no discurso isidoriano acerca do destituído Suintila. Ao fim, verificou-se em reinados posteriores ao concílio toledano a efetividade da caracterização do soberano como o “ungido do Senhor”, associação essa que tinha como propósito cessar sublevações futuras entre os godos.
A bellicose people and with a trajectory marked by usurpations followed by assassinations, the Visigoths settled in Hispania in the 5th century, still facing political instabilities in the 7th century arising from the clash of interests between the nobility groups, which disputed the royal post. Seeking to look at these relationships, the research proposal analyzes the interaction between Church and Monarchy in Visigoth society, given that the religious institution became the pillar of royalty from the official conversion to Catholicism in 589, having also acquired political functions. In this sense, the core of the investigation lies in approaching the context in which, with the support of the religious institution under the leadership of Isidore of Seville, Sisenando (631-636) took power by dethroning Suintila (621-631). Through Discourse Analysis, we sought to shed light on the minutes of the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633, a meeting in which Sisenando was legitimized at the same time that the dethroned was defamed. Thus, the methodology used helped to understand the mechanisms adopted by the Church to validate the insurrection, in addition to analyzing the discrepancies in the Isidorian discourse about the destitute Suintila. In the end, in reigns after the Toledan council, the effectiveness of the characterization of the sovereign as the “anointed of the Lord” was verified, an association that was intended to stop future uprisings among the Goths.
