{{Short description|Vandal peoples of the Roman era}}
The '''Hasdingi''' were one of the [[Vandals|Vandal]] peoples of the [[Roman era]]. The Vandals were [[Germanic peoples]], who are believed to have spoken an [[East Germanic languages|East Germanic language]], and were first reported during the first centuries of the Roman empire in the area which is now [[Poland]], eastern Germany, the [[Czech Republic]], and [[Slovakia]].
Famously, the Hasdingi led a successful invasion of Roman [[North Africa]], creating a kingdom with its capital at [[Carthage]] in what is now [[Tunisia]].
During the [[Marcomannic wars]], the Hasdingi helped the Romans and were able to settle in the [[Carpathian]] and [[Pannonian Basin|Pannonian]] areas which are now in Hungary and Romania. At the end of 406, they participated together with [[Silingi]] Vandals and [[Sarmatians|Sarmatian]] [[Alans]] in the [[crossing of the Rhine]]. Their king [[Godigisel]] [[Battle of Mainz (406)|lost his life in battle]] against the [[Franks]] during the crossing.
After some years in [[Gaul]], these peoples moved into the [[Iberian peninsula]].
The Hasdingi settled in [[Gallaecia]] (today [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], [[Asturias]] and the north of [[Portugal]]) along with the [[Suebi]] in 409 AD and their kingdom was one of the earliest [[Barbarian kingdom|Barbarian territories]] to be founded before the fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]].
[[Gunderic]], Godegisel's successor as king of the Hasdingi, lost his kingdom to king [[Hermeric]] of the Suebi in 419 after the [[Battle of the Nervasos Mountains]] where the Vandals were overwhelmed by an allied force of Suebi and [[Roman Empire|Romans]]. He fled to [[Baetica]] with his army where he became king of the [[Silingi]] Vandals and of the [[Alans]].
Gunderic was succeeded by his brother [[Gaiseric]] in 428 AD, who subsequently fled from Iberia to North Africa where he established a [[Vandal Kingdom|kingdom]] at Carthage.
