The Vandal king Huneric was a devout Arian, and interfered with ecclesiastical affairs during his reign as king over north africa. The Arian attacks on the catholic monasteries in the region, caused a tremendous amount of tumult, including that of the young monk Fulgentius, who would spar with the Arians in the region over the next few decade. This included disputing the episcopacy of Ruspe, which any catholic was banned by royal edict from occupying. Laid out here, Fulgentius, delineates his polemic against the African Arians and their doctrinal arguments.
