Gelimer
king of the Vandals and Alans
Gelimer (original form possibly Geilamir, 480-553), King of the Vandals and Alans from 530 to 534, is 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 Catholic Christianity, most of the Vandals at this time being fiercely devoted to Arian Christianity.
