Huneric

Huneric,Hunneric or Honeric (died December 23, 484 AD) was king of the Vandals and Alans and the second king of the North AfricanVandal Kingdom, ruling from 477–484 AD, and the oldest son of his predecessor Gaiseric. He abandoned the imperial politics of his father and concentrated mainly on internal affairs. He was married to Eudocia, daughter of western Roman EmperorValentinian III (ruled 425–455 AD) and his wife Licinia Eudoxia. The couple had one child, the future king Hilderic.

Huneric was the first Vandal king to use the title King of the Vandals and Alans (Latin: Regnum Vandalorum et Alanorum). Despite adopting this title and the Vandals maintaining their sea-power and their hold on the islands of the western , Huneric did not have the prestige that his father Gaiseric had enjoyed with other states.
