Heremigarius

Heremigarius (of Hermigarius) (400–429) was een Suevische aanvoerder die opereerde in Lusitania in de jaren 427-429. Hij was mogelijk verbonden met koning Hermerik, maar schriftelijke bronnen die dit ondersteunen ontbreken.[1] Volgens Hydatius, viel hij de Vandaalse steden Sevilla en Mérida aan en viel daar in de rivier Ana "door de arm van God", waar hij verdronk.[2] Hij werd verslagen door de Vandaalse koning Geiseric nabij Mérida en verdronk op de vlucht.[3]
