| Notes: | Nov 1, 07 - Gelimer (original form Geilamir, 480-553), King of the Vandals and Alans from 530 to 534, was the last ruler of the North African Kingdom of the Vandals. He became ruler in 530 after deposing his cousin Hilderic, who had angered the Vandal nobility by converting to Catholicism. The eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I sent an expeditionary force commanded by Belisarius which finally reached Africa and defeated Gelimer in the beginning of September 533.
