Thrasimund was the greatest and most accomplished of the Vandal kings, excelling in beauty, prudence, and magnanimity of soul. However, his character was marked by intolerant zeal that he pursued through methods of seduction rather than force. He employed wealth, dignity, and royal favor as rewards for apostasy from Catholicism, requiring converts to swear anti-Catholic oaths.
