• Notes

  Huneric launched a general persecution of Christianity and the LatinChurch, which was very strong in North Africa, apparently from genuinereligious fanaticism rather than for political reasons. The Vandals wereArian (Christian heretics). King of the Vandals from 477-484, Huneric succeeded his father Gaisericin 477. When Gaiseric died, the Moorish vassal kingdoms on the borderrevolted. Huneric, an Arian, made Catholocism illegal.
