Princess Eudocia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eudocia, or Eudoxia (439–466/474?) was the eldest daughter of Roman emperor Valentinian III and his wife, Licinia Eudoxia and the Granddaughter of Eastern emperor Theodosius II and of his wife, the poet Aelia Eudocia. She was married to the heir to the Vandal throne, Huneric in c. 460 CE. The emperor Valentinian III, who in an obvious strategy to maintain Roman independence and secure military support of the Vandals, had engaged his daughter to the son of Gaiseric and aligned the Western Roman empire with the Vandals.
Eudocia had a son with Huneric, Hilderic, who reigned as king of the Vandals, from 523-530.
