Career
In the mid-440s, at age 5, Eudocia was betrothed to Huneric, son of the Vandal king Gaiseric (and then a hostage in Italy). This engagement served to strengthen the alliance between the Western court and the Vandal kingdom in Africa. Their marriage did not take place at this time, however, because Eudocia was not yet of age.
They had a son, Hilderic, who reigned as king of the Vandals, from 523-530.
