Visigothic king Gesalec, driven from the throne …
Years: 511 - 511
Visigothic king Gesalec, driven from the throne by Theodoric of the Ostrogoths, finds a refuge in Carthage from the Vandal king Thrasamund.
The Vandal king supports his cause, providing him money and men, and in 510 and 511 the Vandal navy supports Gesalec's invasion of Spain.
However, after receiving some stern letters from Theodoric, Thrasamund recognizes he is no match for the Ostrogoths and withdraws his support for Gesalec, offering an apology and gold to Theodoric.
