While Royaume Europe cites Huneric as Hoamar's father, as does WT, ^[2] making Hilderic his brother, Wikipedia refers to him as Hilderic's nephew and brother of Euagees (Evagus, Hoageis), who was imprisoned with him and Hilderic by Gelimer. ^[4] A second source, also refers to him, as well as his brother, as Hilderic's nephews. ^[8] Huneric supposedly had only one son (Hilderic) with his second wife, Eudoxia, ^[5] whom he married around 0455, ^[6] which would appear to preclude this possibility, but he may have had other children with his first wife, daughter of Theoderic I, King of the Visigoths, whom he married around 0429 and repudiated (after mutilating her), in 0442. ^[6] If they had children (unconfirmed), their grandchildren from these children would have been nieces and nephews of Hilderic, with Hoamer, possibly among them. Another possibility, given in a user-submitted newsgroup, is that Hoamer and Euagees were children, not grandchildren, of Huneric and his Visigoth wife, ^[5] making Huneric Hoamer's father and Hilderic his half-brother. The birth dates that appear for Hoamer (480 acc WT, Royaume Europe), however, are in conflict with this possibility because Huneric was married to Eudoxia at that time.
