Years: 460 - 471
The conquest of the former province of Corsica and Sardinia by the Vandals occurred between about 456 and 460, the year of the agreement between Genseric, king of the Vandals, and the emperor Majorian.
It was a partial, limited and short-lived occupation of some coastal cities.
In 466, the Roman general Marcellinus, possibly encouraged by Pope Hilarius, succeeded in regaining control of the island.
