Gondioc (died 473), also called Gunderic and Gundowech, was a King of the Burgundians, succeeding his putative father Gunther in 436.
Gundahar's violent attempts to expand his empire to the west brought the Burgundians into conflict with the Romans 30 years later.
In 435, a Burgundian army was defeated by Hunnic auxiliary troops under the Roman Aetius and finally destroyed.
Aetius settled them in 443 as ' 'foederati' ' in what is today western Switzerland, in the region known as Sapaudia, as a buffer against the growing strength of the Alamanni.
After the death of Aetius in 454, Gondioc married the sister of Ricimer,[1] the Gothic general at the time ruling the Western Roman Empire.
