«¿Piratas vándalos en el Cantábrico? acerca de una supuesta incursión marítima de unos Wandali en la Novempopulania (primera mitad del siglo V)

The following study offers a historical analysis of the raid suffered in Novempopulania by a Vandal
fleet after having sailed up the Adour river at some stage during the first half of the 5th century. The passage narrates
the events that have been mostly unnoticed among historians due to the fact that it is included in an apocryphal
literary work written in the medieval period, the hagiography of Severus martyr in Novempopulania or in Vasconia, a
founding monastic legend about Severus and Saint-Sever monastery’s origins. Through a historical approach where
the aforementioned maritime incursion occurred, we will proceed to analyse the account of the events.
