Battle of Corsica
The Battle of Corsica was fought between the Vandals and the Western Roman Empire in Corsica in 456.
Prior to the battle, the Vandals had captured Carthage and made it the capital of their kingdom.
In 456, a Vandal fleet of 60 ships sailed from Carthage, threatening both Gaul and Italy.
The Vandals were defeated at Agrigentum by the Suebian warrior Ricimer, who was acting for Emperor Avitus, after which they sailed for Corsica.
At Corsica the Vandals were again attacked by Ricimer and defeated.
After having defeated the Vandals, Ricimer returned to Italy as a hero.
However, he soon defected from Avitus and defeated him at Placentia.
Vandal Kingdom
The Vandal Kingdom or Kingdom of the Vandals and Alans was established by the Germanic Vandal people under Genseric, and ruled in North Africa and the Mediterranean from 435 AD to 534 AD.
In 429, the Vandals, estimated to number 80,000 people, had crossed by boat from Spain to North Africa.
They advanced eastward conquering the coastal regions of 21st century Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
In 435, the Roman Empire, then ruling in North Africa, allowed the Vandals to settle in the provinces of Numidia and Mauretania when it became clear that the Vandal army could not be defeated by Roman military forces.
In 439 the Vandals renewed their advance eastward and captured Carthage, the most important city of North Africa.
The fledgling kingdom then conquered the Roman- ruled islands of Mallorca, Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica in the western Mediterranean Sea.
In the 460s the Romans launched two unsuccessful military expeditions by sea in an attempt to overthrow the Vandals and reclaim North Africa.
The conquest of North Africa by the Vandals was a blow to the beleaguered Western Roman Empire as North Africa was a major source of revenue and a supplier of grain( mostly wheat) to the city of Rome.
Although primarily remembered for the sack of Rome in 455 and their persecution of Nicene Christians in favor of Arian Christianity, the Vandals were also patrons of learning.
Grand building projects continued, schools flourished and North Africa fostered many of the most innovative writers and natural scientists of the late Latin Western Roman Empire.
The Vandal Kingdom ended in 534 when it was conquered by Belisarius in the Vandalic War and incorporated into the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire.

Slippery When Ill
Slippery
When Ill is the second album by the Huntington Beach punk rock band
The Vandals, released jointly in 1989 by Restless Records and Sticky Fingers Records.
It was their first album to include Dave Quackenbush on vocals, who would remain the band's singer for the rest of their career.
The album was something of a departure from the punk rock formula of their previous releases, fusing a country and western style with their humorous brand of punk.
The result was a sound the band called" cow punk" which somewhat mocked the resurgence in popularity of country music in their native Huntington Beach.
Two exceptions were the songs" Shi'ite Punk" and"( I lla Zilla) Lady Killa," which relied heavily on scratch boxes.
The latter song was a re-recording of the song" Ladykiller" from the band's previous album" When in Rome Do as the Vandals" with slightly altered lyrics.
Robbie Allen is credited in the album's liner notes as having performed all of the bass tracks on the album, but by the time of its release original member Joe Escalante had moved from Drums into the bass position.
Escalante had played drums on the album, but when he switched to bass Doug Mackinnon joined the band as their new drummer.
The photo in the album's liner notes indicates Escalante as the band's bass player and MacKinnon as their drummer.
Most of the album's songs were re-issued in 1999 by Kung Fu Records on the album" The Vandals Play Really Bad Original Country Tunes".
The song" Shi'ite Punk" was re-issued in 2000 on the anniversary re-release of their 1990 album" Fear of a Punk Planet", also on Kung Fu Records.
The Vandals discography
The discography of The Vandals, a Huntington Beach, California- based punk rock band formed in 1980, consists of ten studio albums, one EP, two live albums, two compilation albums, one remix album, four reissued albums, three videos, four singles, and seven music videos.
The Vandals formed in 1980 with an initial lineup of singer Steven Ronald" Stevo" Jensen, guitarist Jan Nils Ackermann, bassist Steve" Human" Pfauter, and drummer Joe Escalante.
Their debut EP" Peace thru Vandalism" was released in 1982 on Epitaph Records.
Pfauter left the band in 1984 and Brent Turner played on their debut album" When in Rome Do as the Vandals", released on National Trust Records in 1984.
By the time of their second album" Slippery When Ill"( 1989) on Restless Records Robbi Allen was playing bass and Jensen had been replaced by Dave Quackenbush.
The album was country and western- influenced in a style the band called" cowpunk".
More lineup changes ensued leaving Esclante and Quackenbush as the only remaining members, with Escalante now on bass guitar.
A legal conflict ensued between Escalante and several of the ex-members, partially concerning Time Bomb Recordings' release of the compilation album" Peace thru Vandalism/ When in Rome Do as the Vandals".
Escalante emerged with legal rights to The Vandals name and catalog.
A new incarnation of the Vandals coalesced with the addition of guitarist Warren Fitzgerald and drummer Josh Freese.
This lineup would remain consistent for the rest of the band's career, with occasional substitutes filling in for Freese.
In 1990 they released" Fear of a Punk Planet" through Triple X Records and filmed their first music video, for the song" Pizza Tran".
In 1994 they released the live album and video.
In 1995 the band signed to Nitro Records, who would put out four of their next five albums.
" Live Fast, Diarrhea" was released in 1995, followed by The Quickening in 1996.
Also in 1996 Escalante and Fitzgerald founded Kung Fu Records, releasing a Vandals split single with Assorted Jelly Beans and the Christmas album" Oi to the World!", and re-releasing" Sweatin' to the Oldies" in 1997.
Nitro released" Hitler Bad, Vandals Good" in 1998, and Kung Fu released most of" Slippery When Ill" in 1999 as" The Vandals Play Really Bad Original Country Tunes".
2000 saw a trio of releases, with Kung Fu putting out an anniversary edition of" Fear of a Punk Planet" and re-releasing" Oi to the World!" while Nitro released the new album" Look What I Almost Stepped In..."
With their Nitro contract fulfilled
The Vandals moved to Kung Fu, releasing" Internet Dating Superstuds" in 2002 and the live album and DVD" Live at the House of Blues" in 2003.
The" Shingo Japanese Remix Album" was released in 2005, made up of remixes of Vandals songs by Japanese DJ Shingo Asari.
The band's most recent release is the compilation" BBC Sessions and Other Polished Turds", a digital- only release through iTunes and Kung Fu in 2008.

The Vandals Play Really Bad Original Country Tunes
The Vandals Play Really Bad Original Country Tunes is an album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals, released in 1999 by Kung Fu Records.
Essentially a re-release of their 1989 album "Slippery When Ill", it contains 8 of the 10 songs from that album along with 2 newer, previously unavailable songs.
Part of the impetus for its release was that the original "Slippery When Ill", long asked for by the band's fans, had become very rare and difficult to obtain due to the small size of the record labels it was originally released on.
With their Kung Fu label (founded in 1996 by Vandals members Joe Escalante and Warren Fitzgerald) now firmly established, the band was able to re-release this music from ten years earlier in their career.
The original "Slippery When Ill" album represented a turning point in the history of the Vandals.
It was their first album to feature Dave Quackenbush on vocals, who would remain the band's singer throughout the rest of their career.
It was also something of a departure from the punk rock formula of their previous releases, fusing a country and western style with their humorous brand of punk.
The result was a sound the band called "cowpunk" which somewhat mocked the resurgence in popularity of country music in their native Huntington Beach.
Two exceptions were the songs "Shi'ite Punk" and "(Illa Zilla)
Lady Killa," which relied heavily on scratch boxes.
These songs were left off "Country Tunes" and replaced with the more country-sounding "Play That Country Tuba, Cowboy" and "Complain.
Shi'ite Punk" was re-issued the following year on the special anniversary re-release of their album "Fear of a Punk Planet".
