Flávio Hermenegildo (c. 768 – c. 831), also known as Flávio Hermenegildo Teudis, was the 6th Count of Coimbra.[1][2]
The County of Coimbra, during his time, encompassed lands that are part of modern-day Portugal, including Coimbra, Viseu, Lamego, and Santa Maria da Feira. This region was a significant frontier zone during the Reconquista, with its control frequently contested between Christian and Muslim forces.[2][3] Flávio's tenure was characterized by the challenges of maintaining control over Coimbra amid the broader conflicts between Christian and Muslim forces.[4][5]
