In 409 AD The Vandals, Alans and Suebes invaded the Western Roman Empire and established themselves in the Iberian Peninsula. They created three separate kingdoms in the region. The Vandals established themselves in Galicia, creating two kingdoms (on for the tribe of the Hasdingi and one for the tribe of the Silingi).
