What is the source for Gaudioso of Suéves as a son of Eborico, king of the Suevi & husband of Egilona, Visigoth queen consort

He’s not listed at https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/VANDALS,%20SUEVI,%20VISIGOTHS.htm#... or any of the Wikipedias for Eboric.

Is Egilona as mixup with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egilona by chance?

I believe so.
