Huneric
King of the Vandals and Alans
Years: 425 - 484
Huneric or Honeric (died December 23, 484) is King of the Vandals (477–484) and the oldest son of Genseric.
He drops the imperial politics of his father and concentrates mainly on internal affairs.
He is married to Eudocia, daughter of western Roman Emperor Valentinian III (419–455) and Licinia Eudoxia.
She leaves him, probably in 472.
She has one son by him, Hilderic.
Huneric is the first Vandal king who uses the title King of the Vandals and Alans.
Despite adopting this style, and that the Vandals maintain their sea-power and their hold on the islands of the western Mediterranean Sea, Huneric does not have the prestige that his father Genseric had enjoyed with other states.
