Notizen zu dieser Person
Thrasamund (450-523), King of the Vandals and Alans (496-523) was thefourth king of the north African Kingdom of the Vandals, and reignedlonger than any other Vandal king in Africa other than hisgrandfather, Geiseric. Thrasamund was the third son born to Geiseric's fourth son, Gento, andbecame king in 496 only because all of Geiseric's sons and his ownbrother, King Gunthamund, all died in their forties. Upon Gunthamund'sdeath, he was one of only two living grandsons of Geiseric, andinherited the throne in accordance with a law enacted by hisgrandfather bestowing the kingship on the eldest male member of hisfamily. As king, he has usually been portrayed as an ineffectual ruler. Underhis leadership, the Vandal kingdom appears to have continued a declinewhich began with Geiseric's death, and lost control of nearly all ofmodern Algeria to the Berber. In the final year of his reign, theimportant port city of Leptis Magna was sacked by the Berbers, givingfurther evidence of the Vandals' weakness. On the other hand, he seems to have maintained a firm grip on theheartland of the Vandal kingdom, which consisted of modern Tunisia andeastern Algeria. He also ended many years of persecution of theCatholics which had begun under his uncle Huneric, a move whichimproved the Vandals' relations with the Byzantine Empire. Thrasamund died in 523 and was succeeded by his cousin Hilderic, thefirstborn son of Huneric.
