Godigisel

Godigisel (359–406) was King of the Hasdingi Vandals until his death in 406.

He is killed in battle late in 406, shortly before his people force a crossing of the Rhine River into the territory of the Roman Empire.

Godigisel is succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Gunderic, who leads the Vandals into Gaul and later to Hispania.

But he is best known as the father of Genseric, who succeeds Gunderic to the kingship in 428 and rules for 49 years, establishing a powerful kingdom in North Africa.
