Under pressure from the Visigoths there, Genseric led the Vandals across the straits into North Africa in 429. After sacking Frankish and Roman cities, they reached and crossed the Pyrenees in 409 AD and marched into Iberia. The Vandals decisively defeated the Frankish army, and then proceeded to plunder their way southward. Attempting to cross it, they met fierce resistance from the Franks, who had settled the Romanized regions of northern Gaul. By 406 AD, the Vandals had reached the Rhine. The Vandals crossed the Baltic into Poland at some point in the 2nd Century BC. The Vandals were an East Germanic tribe, their original homeland in Scandinavia.
