First Germanic tribes to convert to Christianity
The Visigoths were a group of people from Germany who lived in what is now Spain and Portugal. They became Christians because they were in touch with the Roman Empire and Christian leaders came to teach them about Christianity.
In 589, King Reccared I made Catholic Christianity the official religion of the Visigothic Kingdom. This change had big effects on the Visigoths' politics and religion, and made Christianity the main religion in their lands.
