| Four years later Genseric captured Carthage, and became the effective ruler of Mediterranean North Africa. |
| We may place this moment at the date of its capture by Genseric. |
| The Vandals under Genseric conquered the Islands sometime between 461 and 468 during their war on the Roman Empire. |
| Genseric settled his Vandals as landowners and in 442 was able to negotiate very favourable peace terms with the Western court. |
| It is possible that Bonifacius had sought Genseric as an ally against Sigisvult, promising him a part of Africa in return. |
| For these reasons the Vandals gladly undertook the enterprise, and under Genseric, their king, became lords of Africa. |
