'''Huneric''' or '''Honeric''' (slavicized name '''Uniemirek''') (died December 23, 484) was [[King]] of the [[Vandals]] (477–484) and the oldest son of [[Genseric]]. He dropped the imperial politics of his father and concentrated mainly on internal affairs. He was married to [[Princess Eudocia|Eudocia]], daughter of western [[Roman Emperors|Roman Emperor]] [[Valentinian III]] (419–455) and [[Licinia Eudoxia]]. She left him, probably in 472. She had one son by him, [[Hilderic]].
 
Huneric was the first Vandal king who used the title ''King of the Vandals and [[Alans]]''. Despite adopting this style, and that the Vandals maintained their sea-power and their hold on the islands of the western [[Mediterranean Sea]], Huneric did not have the prestige that his father Genseric had enjoyed with other states.
