THE VANDALS
 

The Vandals had their heyday during the years 429 - 534 and a field day when they wrecked Rome in June 455.

Originally from Europe, the Vandals fled from the Huns, trashed their way through Gaul and Spain, and finally and led by their king Genseric, set up their headquarters in Roman province of North Africa. The year? 429.

In 533, it was over with the Vandals when General Belisarius of the East Roman Empire destroyed their kingdom.
