Vandals and the Alans, Kingdom of the

Years: 435 - 534

The Vandal Kingdom is a kingdom established by the Germanic Vandals under Gaiseric in North Africa and the Mediterranean from 435 to 534.

It is originally created by the settlement of the Vandals in the province of Numidia and Mauretania by the Roman government and then extended by conquest further into North Africa and the Mediterranean.

The Kingdom is conquered by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the Vandalic War.Although primarily remembered for their persecution of orthodox Nicene Christians, the Vandals are also patrons of learning.

Grand building projects continue, schools flourish and North Africa fosters many of the most innovative writers and natural scientists of the late Latin West.
