Under King Huneric's rule, the Vandal Kingdom underwent significant changes in its religious leadership, predominantly favoring Arian Christianity over the Nicene creed. Nicene bishops, who followed the mainstream Christian doctrine recognized by the Roman Empire, faced systematic removal from their positions. This initiative was a strategic move by Huneric to consolidate power and diminish the influence of Nicene Christianity within his realm, which could potentially challenge his authority. By replacing these bishops with Arian leaders, Huneric sought to promote a unifying religious doctrine that aligned with his own beliefs. As a measure of this ideological shift, many prominent Nicene bishops were banished to Corsica, effectively isolating them from their congregations and reducing their influence on the Vandals and their subjects. This act not only altered the religious dynamics but also resonated with the broader conflict between Arian and Nicene Christians across the late Roman Empire. Through these forced changes, Huneric aimed to establish a more cohesive society under Arian principles while weakening the existing Nicene structures that had been rooted in Vandal territories.
