Two Germanic tribes, the Vandals and the…

388 CE to 531 CE

Two Germanic tribes, the Vandals and the Suevi, cross the Rhine in 405 and ravage Gaul until the Visigoths drive them into Spain.

The Suevi establish a kingdom in the remote northwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula.

The hardier Vandals, never exceeding eighty thousand, occupy the region that bears their name—Andalusia (Spanish, Andalucia).
