VINITHARIUS . Iordanes names "Vinitharius" as the son of Valaravans[37].

VANDALARIUS, son of VINITHARIUS . Iordanes names "Vandiliarum" as son of "Vinitharius" and father of "Thiudemer et Valamir et Vidimir"[52]. Relative of Thorismund[53].

1. VALAMIR (-killed in battle [468/69]).

Iordanes names "Thiudemer et Valamir et Vidimir" as the sons of Vandilarius[54]. He and his brothers followed Attila the Hun into Gaul in 451[55]. Valamir commanded the Ostrogoth contingent in Attila's army which was defeated at the battle of the Catalaunian fields[56]. He was considered king of all Ostrogoths in Pannonia. Iordanes records that "Valamer…ex consobrino eius genitus Vandalario" succeeded as king after "Thorismundo" was killed fighting the Gepids in the second year of his reign[57]. He shared the land with his two brothers, retaining for himself the eastern part of the territory covering lower Slavonia. In 456, he defeated an attack by the Huns, who are said to have retreated to the River Dnieper[58]. He defeated another Hun attack on Bassianae, near Belgrade, in 467/68, but was killed in battle during a similar attack the following year.

2. THEODEMIR [Thiudimir] (-Kyrrhos 474).

Iordanes names "Thiudemer et Valamir et Vidimir" as the sons of Vandilarius[59]. King of the Ostrogoths in Pannonia, subordinate to his brother Valamir, he ruled over the western part of their domain which covered the county of Somogy and north-eastern Croatia. He succeeded his brother in [468/49] as King of all the Pannonian Ostrogoths. Iordanes names "Theodemir" when recording that he succeeded his brother "Valamero rege Gothorum" together with "Vidimero fratre et filio Theodorico"[60]. When the Ostrogoths left Pannonia in [473], Theodemir and his contingent went towards Constantinople. They settled in Macedonia, based in the city of Kyrrhos[61].

3. VIDIMIR (-473).

Iordanes names "Thiudemer et Valamir et Vidimir" as the sons of Vandilarius[62]. King of the Ostrogoths in Pannonia, subordinate to his brother Valamir, he ruled over the central part of their domain which covered upper Slavonia. Iordanes names "Theodemir" when recording that he succeeded his brother "Valamero rege Gothorum" together with "Vidimero fratre et filio Theodorico"[63]. When the Ostrogoths left Pannonia in [473], Vidimir went into Italy where he suffered several defeats.

Vandalarius (who was never King of the Ostrogoths) is identified in the "Origin and Deeds of the Goths" by Jordanes/Iordanes, which is featured on the Boudicca's Bard website:

...

(250) And later, after the death of Vinitharius, Hunimund ruled them, the son of Hermanaric, a mighty king of yore; a man fierce in war and of famous personal beauty, who afterwards fought successfully against the race of the Suavi. And when he died, his son Thorismud succeeded him, in the very bloom of youth. In the second year of his rule he moved an army against the Gepidae and won a great victory over them, but is said to have been killed by falling from his horse.

(251) When he was dead, the Ostrogoths mourned for him so deeply that for 40 years no other king succeeded in his place, and during all this time they had ever on their lips the tale of his memory. Now as time went on, Valamir grew to man's estate. He was the son of Thorismud's cousin Vandalarius.

According to Thomas Hodgkin in "Theodoric the Goth: The Barbarian Champion of Civilisation", Cassiodorus, Secretary of Ostrogoth King Theodoric the Great, gave Vinitharius, Vandalarius' father, the epithet of "The Just" rather than "The Conqueror". Source:

According to "Bert's Geschiedenis Site":

Vandalarius died in 459 (no source given). If he had done so, then he likely would have followed his sons to Pannonia.

Wandalar (Vandalarius) (ca. 400 - 459) (= overwinnaar van de Vandalen), de zoon van Winithar. Hij stierf in 459.

Toen na de dood van Hunnenkoning Attila in 453 een opvolgingsstrijd losbarstte kwamen de Gepiden onder hun koning Ardaric tegen hun vroegere onderdrukkers in opstand. De Ostrogoten, aangevoerd door de drie zonen van Wandalar Thiudimir, Valamir en Vidimir sloten zich bij deze opstand aan.

In de slag aan de Nadao (454), een zijrivier van de Sava, ergens in Pannonia, werden de Hunnen en hun bondgenoten (Sarmaten en Alanen) verslagen. Door deze overwinning kwam er een einde aan de overheersing van de Hunnen in Centraal en Oostelijk Europa. De Ostrogoten herkregen hun vrijheid en werden bondgenoten van het Oost-Romeinse Rijk, dat hen in ruil hiervoor in 455 de voormalige provincie Pannonia als woongebied toewees. Niet lang na de overwinning op de Hunnen kwam de oude rivaliteit tussen de Gepiden en Ostrogoten weer boven drijven. Er ontstonden voortdurend schermutselingen tussen deze volken waarbij ook de Skiren en Herulen betrokken waren. Pas in 469 kwam hier een einde aan toen de Ostrogoten de Gepiden uit Pannonia verdreven.

In English:

Wanadalar (Vandalarius, c.400-459, "The Conqueror of the Vandals") was the son of Winithar. He died in 459.

After the death of their King Attila in 453 (presumably meaning the overlordship imposed upon them by the Huns), a succession struggle broke out among the Gepids under their King Ardaric as he led a rebellion against their former oppressors. The Ostrogoths, led by three sons of Wandalar, Thiudimir, Valamar, and Vidimir, joined this rebellion. (Most sources indicate this was a rebellion carried out spontaneously among several tribes, following the weakening of Attila after the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields near Chalons in 451.)

In the Battle of Nadao (454), a tributary of the Sava located somewhere in Pannonia, the Huns and their allies (Sarmatians and Alans) were reportedly defeated. This victory brought to an end the domination of the Huns in Central and Eastern Europe. The Ostroogths regained their freedom and became allies of the Eastern Roman Empire, who gave them in return the Roman province of Pannonia as a homeland in 455 (more or less, this was a confirmation of their homeland, given somewhat later as a result of a struggle with a rival over who would represent the Ostrogoths in Constantinople). Not long after the victory over the Huns, the old rivalry between the Gepids and the Ostrogoths came back to the surface. There were constant skirmishes between the nations where the Sciri and Heruli were involved (this would apparently be the conflict that killed his son Valamar). Only in 469 did the war come to an end when the Ostrogoths and Gepids of Pannonia were displaced. (This war actually continued after their displacement, when Theodoric fought and defeated Odoacer, a Sciri Goth, in Italy.)

(Most sources indicate this was a rebellion carried out spontaneously among several tribes, following the weakening of Attila after the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields near Chalons in 451.)

In the Battle of Nadao (454), a tributary of the Sava located somewhere in Pannonia, the Huns and their allies (Sarmatians and Alans) were reportedly defeated. This victory brought to an end the domination of the Huns in Central and Eastern Europe. The Ostroogths regained their freedom and became allies of the Eastern Roman Empire, who gave them in return the Roman province of Pannonia as a homeland in 455 (more or less, this was a confirmation of their homeland, given somewhat later as a result of a struggle with a rival over who would represent the Ostrogoths in Constantinople). Not long after the victory over the Huns, the old rivalry between the Gepids and the Ostrogoths came back to the surface. There were constant skirmishes between the nations where the Sciri and Heruli were involved (this would apparently be the conflict that killed his son Valamar). Only in 469 did the war come to an end when the Ostrogoths and Gepids of Pannonia were displaced. (This war actually continued after their displacement, when Theodoric fought and defeated Odoacer, a Sciri Goth, in Italy.)
