After moving through Spain, the Vandals crossed into North Africa in 429 CE under the leadership of King Gaiseric.12
They initially advanced to Hippo Regius and, following a treaty in 435 CE, were allotted territories in Numidia and Mauretania. In 439 CE, Gaiseric captured Carthage, establishing it as the center of an independent kingdom that eventually encompassed northern Tunisia, northeastern Algeria, and several Mediterranean islands, including Sardinia, Corsica, and Sicily.12
