  Thrasamund
Thrasamund (450-523), King of the Vandals and Alans (496-523) was the fourth king of the north African Kingdom of the Vandals, and reigned longer than any other Vandal king in Africa other than his grandfather, Geiseric.
Thrasamund was the third son born to Geiseric's fourth son, Gento, and became king in 496 only because all of Geiseric's sons and his own brother, King Gunthamund, all died in their forties.
Thrasamund died in 523 and was succeeded by his cousin Hilderic, the firstborn son of Huneric.

 Thrasamund "King of the Vandals"
He was succeeded by his incompetent son Hunerich (477- 484), who at first protected the Catholics, owing to his fear of Constantinople, but from 482 he persecuted them in the most terrible manner.
King Guntamund (484-96), his cousin and successor, protected them once more, and while Thrasamund (496- 523), owing to his religious fanaticism, was hostile to Catholics, still he contented himself with bloodless persecutions.
Hilderich (523-30) favoured the Catholics and granted religious freedom; consequently Catholic synods were once more held in North Africa.

 ST. HORMISDAS
It was subscribed to by the patriarch of Constantinople, it swept the East and in the end was signed by 2,500 bishops.
Another joyous moment for St. Hormisdas came when word was brought from Africa that after the death of the Vandal king Thrasamund, the hardpressed African Church enjoyed a little peace.
Hormisdas forbade the use of the expression "one of the Trinity was crucified," not because it could not be understood in a true sense, but because it was used as a Monophysite catchword.
