The Vandals were a group who moved into Roman Spain in the fifth century AD, they later moved into North Africa for debated reasons. The migration to Africa occurred under their king Gaiseric, who set up a capital in Carthage in 435. After a century of mixed relations with their Roman and Ostrogothic neighbours, the Vandal Kingdom was ended with the defeat of King Gelimer by the Roman general Belisarius in 534. |
