Maldras

Maldras (or Madras ) was the king of the Royaume suève of 457 with 459.

He assassinates Agiulf, king placed at the head of the kingdom suève by Théodoric II, in June 457, and takes his place with the head of the southern part of the kingdom. Little time after, Framta, the king of the northern part of the kingdom, dies, leaving Maldras without competitor to reign on the entirety of the Royaume suève.

During its reign, the conflicts with the population local Hispano-Roman and the elite teutone developed. Maldras itself was assassinated in 459. His/her son Rémismond succeeds to him.
