 Gaiseric

Huneric thankfully died in 484, allowing Gento's son Gunthamund (450-496, reigned 484-496) to become King and partially restore the Vandals' position.

 Lives of the Saints, July 13, Saint Anacletus, Eugenius
In the year 481, the episcopal see of Carthage had been vacant for twenty-four years, when Huneric, barbarian King of the African Vandals, decided to allow the Catholics to fill it, provided certain conditions be met.
His charities to the distressed had already been very abundant, and in his new office he refused himself the slightest convenience, in order to be able to give all he had to the poor.
His virtue gained him the respect and esteem even of the Arians; but at length envy and blind zeal overcame their better sentiments, and Huneric sent Saint Eugenius an order never to sit on the episcopal throne, preach to the people, or admit into his chapel any Vandals, even if Catholic.

Finally in 479, under pressure again from the Byzantine emperor Zeno and his consort Placidia Huneric allowed for the election of Eugenius as bishop of Carthage.
