Genial, Genialis, or Genealis was the Duke of Gascony (Vasconia) from 602 to his death in 627. The chief source for his existence is Fredegar. Genial was probably a Frank or a Gallo-Roman when Theuderic II and Theudebert II appointed him dux over the Basques (Vascones) of southwestern Aquitaine: Some scholars believe Genial was more of a tribal leader over whom the Frankish sovereigns exercised a vague suzerainty than a Frankish court official sent to the outskirts of the realm to lord it over a subject people. Sometime around 612, Sisebut, king of the Visigoths, recaptured the transpyrenean portion of his realm. He was succeeded by Aeghyna.
