Gaiseric ( – 25 January 477 AD), also known as Geiseric or Genseric (; reconstructed Vandalic: ) was king of the Vandals and Alans from 428 to 477 AD. He ruled over the Vandal kingdom and played a key role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire during the 5th century.
Gaiseric was a Vandal king who ruled from 428 to 477 AD and led his people to significant military power in the Mediterranean region during the final decades of the Western Roman Empire. He is historically important because his conquests and raids, particularly against Roman territories, contributed substantially to the empire's collapse in the 5th century.

Gaiseric ( – 25 January 477 AD), also known as Geiseric or Genseric (; reconstructed Vandalic: ) was king of the Vandals and Alans from 428 to 477 AD. He ruled over the Vandal kingdom and played a key role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire during the 5th century.
The murder of Roman Emperor Valentinian III, who had betrothed his daughter to Gaiseric's son Huneric, led the Vandal king to invade Italy. The invasion culminated in his most famous exploit, the capture and plundering of Rome in June 455 AD. Gaiseric repulsed two major attempts by both halves of the Roman Empire to reclaim North Africa, inflicting devastating defeats on the forces of Majorian in 460 AD and Basiliscus in 468 AD. As a result, the Romans abandoned their campaign against the Vandals and concluded peace with Gaiseric. Gaiseric died in Carthage in 477 AD and was succeeded by his son, Huneric. During his nearly fifty year rule, Gaiseric transformed a relatively inconsequential Germanic tribe into a major Mediterranean power.
