GELIMER or GEILAMIR (}l. 530-534), last king of the Vandals in Africa, a great-grandson of Gaiseric, succeeded when Hilderic was deposed in 53o. Justinian invited him to allow the old king to remain sovereign in name and to content himself with the actual power ; he was in reality desirous of an excuse for interfer ence in Africa. In 533 he sent against him a great expedition under Belisarius (q.v.). Gelimer was completely defeated, and in 534 taken prisoner. He was then permitted to settle in Galatia.
