Replacement of Bishops by Huneric

Date: February 24, 484 • Location: Peri, France

King Huneric of the Vandals replaces Nicene bishops with Arian ones, and banishes some to Corsica.

Huneric, Hunneric or Honeric was king of the Vandals and Alans and the second king of the North African Vandal 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 Emperor Valentinian III and his wife Licinia Eudoxia. The couple had one child, the future king Hilderic.
