 The Vandal Kingdom
The Hasdingians and Suevi got the north western part (Galicia), the Alans got the south west (Lusitania) and the Silingians led by their king Fredbal got the southern part (Baetica).

After the merger Gunderic called himself king of the Vandals and the Alans.

 History of the Vandals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Gunderic was their leader since sometime in the 410’s.
When the Alans lost their leader Ataces with almost all his army in battle against Vallia the King of the Visigoths 419 AD, the remainder of these Alans subjected themselves to Gunderic King of the Vandals in Baetica, who therefore became King of the Vandals and Alans.
King Gunderic died and was succeed by his half-brother, a bastard named Gaiseric (his mother being an unknown concubine of the Vandal King) The name, of which there are various spellings (also Geiseric and Genseric) means the 'Caesar King'.

 Gaiseric
He seems to have held no ill will toward his brother (existing Roman accounts that say he became King by murdering Gunderic are probably propaganda; the same sources often refer to Gaiseric as the Antichrist) and spent most of his time constructing a Vandal fleet, something that they had not possessed in centuries.
After Gunderic's death in 428, almost certainly in a battle with the powerful Visigoths in Spain, the 39-year-old Gaiseric was elected as the new King.
Not only does the 389-390 period seem the most congruent, I would also add that between 400 and 406, Godigisel was fighting constant wars and was less likely to be fathering children--and if he did, even less likely to take illegitimate children and raise them as part of his own family.
