=== Life Sketch ===
The marriage of the Western Emperor Valentinian III's daughter to the son of the brilliant Vandal king Gaiseric, Huneric, was a carefully thought-out political manoeuver. "Gaiseric came suddenly to Rome with his forces and captured the city... He even led away as captives surviving senators, along with their wives; along with them he also carried off to Carthage in Africa the empress Eudoxia, who had summoned him, her daughter Placidia, the wife of the patrician Olybrius, who then was staying at Constantinople, and even the maiden Eudocia. After he had returned, Gaiseric gave the younger Eudocia, a maiden, the daughter of the empress Eudoxia, to his son Huneric in marriage, and he held them both, the mother and the daughter, in great honor" (Chron. 366).

****************************
From Wikipedia-
Huneric or Hunneric or Honeric (died December 23, 484) was King of the (North African) Vandal Kingdom (477–484) and the oldest son of Genseric. He abandoned the imperial politics of his father and concentrated mainly on internal affairs. He was married to Eudocia, daughter of western Roman Emperor Valentinian III (419–455) and Licinia Eudoxia. The couple had one child, a son named Hilderic.
Huneric was the first Vandal king who used the title King of the Vandals and Alans. Despite adopting this style, and that of the Vandals of maintaining their sea-power and their hold on the islands of the western Mediterranean, Huneric did not have the prestige that his father Genseric had enjoyed with other states.
Biography
Huneric was a son of King Genseric (or Gaiseric), and was sent to Italy as a hostage in 435, when his father made a treaty with the Western emperor Valentinian III. Huneric became king of the Vandals on his father's death on 25 January 477. Like Gaiseric he was an Arian, and his reign is chiefly memorable for his persecution of members of the orthodox Christian Church in his dominions. Eudocia, daughter of Valentinian III, was Huneric's wife.[1]
His reign
Huneric was a fervent adherent to Arianism. Yet his reign opened with making a number of positive overtures towards the local Roman population. Following the visit of a diplomatic mission from the Eastern Roman Empire led by Alexander, Huneric restored properties seized by his father from the merchants of Carthage.[2] He also lifted the policy of persecuting the local Roman Catholics, allowing them to hold a synod wherein they elected a new Catholic bishop of Carthage, Eugenius, after a vacancy of 24 years.[3]
However, not long after the ordination of Eugenius, Huneric reversed himself and began to once again persecute Catholics.[4] Furthermore, he tried to make Catholic property fall to the state, but when this caused too much protest from the Eastern Roman Emperor, he chose to banish a number of Catholics to a faraway province instead. On February 1, 484 he organized a meeting of Catholic bishops with Arian bishops, but on February 24, 484 he forcibly removed the Catholic bishops from their offices and banished some to Corsica. A few were executed, including the former proconsul Victorian along with Frumentius and other wealthy merchants, who were killed at Hadrumetum after refusing to become Arians.[5] Among those exiled was Vigilius, bishop of Thapsus, who published a theological treatise against Arianism.
Additionally, Huneric murdered many members of the Hasdingi dynasty and also persecuted Manichaeans.[6]
Towards the end of his reign, the Moors in the Aurès Mountains (in modern-day Algeria) successfully rebelled from Vandal rule.[7]
Upon his death on December 23, 484, Huneric was succeeded by his nephew Gunthamund (reigned 484–496).

Biography
Huneric was a son of King Gaiseric, and was sent to Italy as a hostage in 435, when his father made a treaty with the Western emperor Valentinian III. Huneric became king of the Vandals on his father's death on 25 January 477.

Additionally, Huneric murdered many members of the Hasdingi dynasty and also persecuted Manichaeans.[6]
A 17th century engraving depicting the death of Huneric from putrefaction by Jan Luyken, 1685.
Towards the end of his reign, the Moors in the Aurès Mountains (in modern-day Algeria) successfully rebelled from Vandal rule.[7]
Upon his death on December 23, 484, Huneric was succeeded by his nephew Gunthamund, who reigned until 496. A lurid account of Huneric's death by putrefaction and "an abundance of worms" is included in the Historia persecutionis Africanae Provinciae, temporibus Genserici et Hunirici regum Wandalorum (History of the African Province Persecution, in the Times of Genseric and Huneric, the Kings of the Vandals), written by his contemporary, Victor Vitensis, although it is probable that this particular section was added at a later date.[8]

Huneric , Hunneric ou Honeric (falecido em 23 de dezembro de 484) foi Rei do Reino Vandal (da África do Norte) (477-484) e o filho mais velho de Genseric . Ele abandonou a política imperial de seu pai e se concentrou principalmente nos assuntos internos. Ele era casado com Eudocia , filha do imperador romano Valentiniano III (419–455) e de Licinia Eudoxia . O casal teve um filho, um filho chamado Hilderic .
Moeda de Huneric
Huneric foi o primeiro rei vândalo a usar o título de Rei dos Vândalos e Alanos . Apesar de adotar esse estilo, e o dos vândalos, de manter seu poder marítimo e seu domínio nas ilhas do Mediterrâneo ocidental, Huneric não tinha o prestígio que seu pai Genseric desfrutara com outros estados.
Biografia
Huneric era filho do rei Genseric (ou Gaiseric), e foi enviado para a Itália como refém em 435, quando seu pai fez um tratado com o imperador ocidental Valentiniano III. Huneric tornou-se rei dos vândalos com a morte de seu pai em 25 de janeiro de 477. Como Gaiseric, ele era um ariano, e seu reinado é memorável principalmente por sua perseguição aos cristãos católicos em seus domínios. Eudocia , filha de Valentiniano III , era esposa de Hunerico. [1]
Seu reinado
Huneric era um adepto fervoroso do arianismo . No entanto, seu reinado começou com uma série de aberturas positivas para a população romana local. Após a visita de uma missão diplomática do Império Romano Oriental liderada por Alexandre, o Huneric restaurou as propriedades confiscadas por seu pai aos mercadores de Cartago . [2] Ele também suspendeu a política de perseguir os católicos locais ( cristãos nicenos ), permitindo-lhes realizar um sínodo no qual elegeram um novo bispo católico de Cartago, Eugênio , após uma vacância de 24 anos. [3]
No entanto, não muito depois da ordenação de Eugenius, Huneric se reverteu e começou a perseguir os católicos mais uma vez. [4] Além disso, ele tentou fazer com que a propriedade católica caísse para o estado, mas quando isso causou muitos protestos do imperador romano oriental , ele optou por banir vários católicos para uma província distante. Em 1 de fevereiro de 484, ele organizou um encontro de bispos católicos com bispos arianos , mas em 24 de fevereiro de 484 ele removeu à força os bispos católicos de seus cargos e baniu alguns para a Córsega . Alguns foram executados, incluindo o ex- procônsul Vitoriano junto com Frumentius e outros comerciantes ricos , que foram mortos em Hadrumetum após se recusarem a se tornar arianos. [5] Entre os exilados estava Vigílio , bispo de Thapsus , que publicou um tratado teológico contra o arianismo.
Além disso, Huneric assassinou muitos membros da dinastia Hasdingi e também perseguiu maniqueus . [6]

No final de seu reinado, os mouros nas montanhas de Aurès (na atual Argélia ) se rebelaram com sucesso do domínio vândalo. [7]
Após sua morte em 23 de dezembro de 484, Huneric foi sucedido por seu sobrinho Gunthamund , que reinou até 496. Um relato sinistro da morte de Huneric por putrefação e "abundância de vermes" está incluído na Historia persecutionis Africanae Provinciae, temporibus Genserici et Hunirici regum Wandalorum ( História da Perseguição da Província Africana, nos Tempos de Genseric e Huneric, os Reis dos Vândalos ), escrita por seu contemporâneo, Victor Vitensis , embora seja provável que esta seção específica tenha sido adicionada em uma data posterior.

He lived as a hostage at Ravenna in 442[28]. He succeeded his father in 477 as HUNERIC King of the Vandals in Africa. The Victoris Tonnennensis Epsicopi Chronicon records that "Hugnericus filius eius" succeeded his father in 464 and reigned for 7 years and 5 months[29].

The Chronicon of Bishop Idatius records that Maximus arranged the marriage of “filio suo ex priore coniuge Palladio” and “Valentiniani filiam” in 455[33]. After the death of her father, his successor forced Eudoxia to marry his son, but she was captured by Genseric King of the Vandals during his attack on Rome and taken back to north Africa with her mother and sister[34]. Procopius names "Eudocia and Placidia" as children of "Eudoxia…and Valentinian", recording that Eudoxia was married to Huneric, the older son of Gaiseric, while the other daughter was the wife of Olybrius, a Roman senator[35]. The Chronicon of Bishop Idatius records that one daughter of Valentinian married “Gentoni Gaiserici filio” and the other “Olybrio Senatori Urbis Romæ”[36]. The Victoris Tonnennensis Epsicopi Chronicon records that "Hugnericus" married "Valentiniani filiam" who had been abducted from Rome in captivity[37]. Huneric & his second wife had one child:
a) HILDERIC ([480]-murdered 534). Iordanes names "Ilderich" as fifth Vandal king in Africa but does not specify his relationship to Thrasamund, his predecessor[38]. The Victoris Tonnennensis Epsicopi Chronicon records the succession in 523 of "Hilderix, qui ex Valentiniani imperatoris filia…et Ugnerico iuncta natus est" and that he reigned for 7 years and 3 months[39]. He succeeded [his presumed cousin] in 523 as HILDERIC King of the Vandals in Africa 523. He broke the Vandal alliance with Theodoric King of Italy, supporting the emperor at Constantinople instead[40]. He was deposed by his cousin Gailamir in 530. Iordanes records that Hilderic was deposed by "Gelimer" but does not specify the relationship between the two[41]. The Victoris Tonnennensis Epsicopi Chronicon records that Hilderic was deposed by "Gerlimer" in 531, imprisoned with his sons, and killed in 534 "cum quibusdam generis eius affinibus"[42]. m ---.
