In 335 AD the Vandals established themselves in Pannonia as foederati of the empire after Constantine expelled them from Dacia. It was the second known kingdom of the Vandals.

Establishment

January 336: The Vandals obtained the permission by the Roman emperor to settle in Pannonia, where they remained peaceful for at least forty years, obeying the laws of the Empire like the other inhabitants of the region. They were thus incorporated as foederati, maintaining their buffer function between the empire and the other barbarian tribes of the Sarmatian plain.
