● Article ● Talk ● Language ● Watch ● Edit

Gordas (r. c. 503 – 528) was a prince of the Crimean Huns.

He was a ruler of the Huns near the Maeotis,^[1] near the Cimmerian Bosporus. In 527 he went to Constantinople, where he received baptism.^[2] He then returned to his people and started to destroy their idols. This caused a revolt, led by his brother, in which he was killed. His murderers then fled, fearing Byzantine reprisals.^[3]
