[1] The Suevi fought on the side of Ardaric, king of the Gepids, against the Huns and Ostrogoths at the Battle of Nedao in 454.
Afterwards Hunimund ruled their small and short-lived kingdom in the old settlement area of the Marcomanni and the Quadi.
[2] Jordanes reported that Hunimund led a Suebi raiding party that stole herds of Goth-owned cattle from Dalmatia; on their way home, near Lake Balaton, they were attacked while they slept by Theodemir's men.
Forgetting his duty to his "father", Hunimund and his Sciri again waged war against the Goths; Valamir attacked them, and was killed when he fell off his horse.
With another Scirian rex, an otherwise-unknown Alaric,[3] he then united with Sarmatians and other tribes to invade Pannonia, where they were defeated by Theodemir in a bloody battle.
