Present day Tuy, Tude was an important diocese and during the reign of Egica, he associated his son Witiza with the throne and gave him the governship of the old Suevic Kingdom. Witiza resided in Tude which was the second most important mint in Gallaecia after the Capital Bracara (Braga) in terms number of extant coins and reins which coined there. Several of the rare minor mints in the area used styles similar to that of Tude suggesting they may have shared the same engravers.
