The Kingdom of Goth-Iberia, the largest of the Visigothic successor kingdoms, was also the shortest lived, lasting from 968 to 1036. Situated in the centre of Spain, around the former Roman city of Toletum, it was the first in the path of the Frankish advance of 1035. It was formally dismembered by an administrative edict from Frankish emperor Charles the Agressor and given over to a Frankish Marcher Lord by the name of William of Tournai, whose family ruled the lordship for many years to come.
