In October 409, the Vandals crossed the Pyrenees into the Iberian Peninsula. There they received land from the Romans, as federates, in Galécia (to the northwest) the Hasdingi, and the Silingi in Betica (in the south), while the Alans received land in Lusitania (to the west) and in the region around New Carthage. The Hasdingi vandals were defeated by the Suebi and Romans in the "nervasi" hills. Gunderic and his army fled to Betica, pursued by the Romans, where Gunderic became king of the Vandal Silingi. Still, the Suebi, who also controlled part of Galicia, and the Visigoths, who invaded Iberia before, received lands in Septimania (southern France), crushing the Alans, of whom the survivors hailed Gunderic as their king. During the vandalism of the Visigoth camp, Gossana, daughter of Alarico II, was kidnapped and Prince Hoamer (Oemer) married her, which would generate Goswinta, which would serve as a union with the next Visigoth generation on the throne, when she married Atanagildo. The Vandals propose a division of the Iberian peninsula with the Visigoths, however, they are expelled to North Africa in 429.
[[Hoemer Hoemer] Omaer (Hoamer)] was the nephew of Hilderic, King of the Vandals & Alans (his sibling or a wife’s sibling). Captured, blinded and perhaps later executed (by 533) by [[Gelimer King of The Vandals Gelimer King of The Vandals] Gelimer], Hilderic’s cousin and enemy.
