Aegidius was soon drawn into a war with the Visigoths ; Hugh Elton suggests that Ricimer's puppet Emperor Severus had bribed the Visigoths to go to war against Aegidius.

He was also patron to some of the best contemporary artists, who mainly produced new works in the Northern Mannerist style, such as Bartholomeus Spranger, Hans von Aachen, Giambologna, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Aegidius Sadeler, Roelant Savery, and Adrian de Vries, as well as commissioning works from Italians like Veronese.

Majorian chose his trusted general Aegidius as the new magister militum per Gallias ( military commander of Gaul ) and sent an envoy in Hispania, to report the victory over the Visigoths and the new treaty with Theodoric II.

The new emperor was not recognized by the Eastern Emperor Leo I, nor by any of the generals who had served under Majorian ; not by Aegidius in Gaul, not by Marcellinus in Sicily and Illyria, and not by Nepotianus in Hispania.

Wiomad then provoked the Franks against their new leader, Aegidius, while at the same time tricked the Emperor Maurice into giving Childeric a great treasure for his return to his people.

After Aëtius ' murder Aegidius assumed the role his mentor had held, maintaining order between the foederati and Romans in Gaul, but " while Aëtius had sought to preserve the equilibrium within the Gallic community with the help of Hunnic warriors from outside, Aegidius drew his support largely from the Salian Franks under Clovis ' father Childeric.

" The Goths thought that they were supposed to perform the usual federate ritual outside the walls of the Gallic capital ," writes Wolfram, " but they were rudely awakened from their daydreaming by an attack of Majorian and the ' Frankish ' Aegidius.

" Though often portrayed as an independent Roman state in north Gaul, Aegidius and Syagrius ' ' kingdom ' was probably not much bigger than a day's march from their army.

According to Aegidius Tschudi's history, in 1231 King Henry of Germany, the son of Emperor Frederick II, bought Uri from the Habsburgs and granted it imperial immediacy.

According to Houbraken ( who used his Teutsche Academie as a primary source ), he learned to read and write from the son of Theodor de Bry, Johann Theodoor de Brie and his associate Matthäus Merian, but at age 15 was so eager to learn more of the art of engraving, that he walked from Frankfurt to Prague to become a pupil of Gillis Sadelaar ( also known as Aegidius Sadeler of the Sadeler family ).

His best-known Regement of Princes or De Regimine Principum, written for Henry V of England shortly before his accession, is an elaborate homily on virtues and vices, adapted from Aegidius de Colonna's work of the same name, from a supposititious epistle of Aristotle known as Secreta secretorum, and a work of Jacques de Cessoles ( fl.

Aegidius II was the father of Tobias, who was active from 1670-75 in Vienna.

They first went, accompanied by their nephew Aegidius II, to Verona, then Venice from 1596 / 7, where they had a shop.

During Majorian's reign, that corridor was annexed by the Germanic tribes now occupying Gaul, thus effectively cutting off Aegidius and his citizens from the Empire.

According to Gregory of Tours, Aegidius even ruled the Franks during Childeric's banishment, but Childeric later returned from exile.

It is possible that the Groans of the Britons, referring to a Romano-British request for military assistance after the Roman departure from Britain, may have been addressed to Aegidius.

Aegidius Oertel from Nuremberg became the first librarian in 1561.

He followed Aetius in Gallia, where he met under Aetius ' command two officers of barbarian origin who would have played an important role in Majorian's life: the Suevic-Visigoth Ricimer and the Gaul Aegidius.

The Emperor personally led the army, leaving Ricimer in Italy and choosing Aegidius and the magister militiae Nepotianus as collaborators.

An ardent supporter of Majorian, Aegidius rebelled when Ricimer deposed Majorian, engaging in several campaigns against the Visigoths and creating a Roman rump state that came to be known as the Domain of Soissons.

Ricimer did accept as a supporter Aegidius ' rival Agrippinus, whom contemporaries claimed betrayed Narbonne to the Visigoths in return for their help.

Marcellinus in Dalmatia, and Aegidius around Soissons in northern Gaul, rejected both Ricimer and his puppets and maintained Roman rule in their areas.

When Majorian lost his authority and his life to Ricimer in 461, Aegidius maintained his own rule in much of his province, creating a Roman rump state that came to be known as the Domain of Soissons.

Silver coinage was issued almost exclusively by the Gallic mints ; it has been suggested that these series were not issued by Majorian, but by Aegidius after the Emperor's death, to mark the fact that he did not recognise his successor, Libius Severus.

Aegidius Sadeler ( sometimes written Egidius, or Gilles ) was also a painter, and a leading Northern Mannerist engraver ; the best of the dynasty.

* Aegidius becomes ruler over the Domain of Soissons ( Gaul ).

* Aegidius dies ( possibly poisoned ) and is succeeded by his son Syagrius who becomes ruler of the Domain of Soissons ( Gaul ).

Aegidius ( died 464 or 465 ) was a Gallo-Roman warlord of northern Gaul.

Ralph Mathisen points out the name of Aegidius ' son, Syagrius, " would suggest that he was related to the Syagrii of Lyons, one of the oldest, most aristocratic families of Gaul.

According to Priscus, Aegidius and Majorian were lieutenants of Aëtius, and campaigned together in northern Gaul.

Marcellinus, magister militum in Dalmatia and the pagan general of a well-equipped army, acknowledged him as emperor, as did Aegidius who took effective charge of northern Gaul.

The Domain of Soissons, also known as the Domain of Aegidius and the Domain of Syagrius, was a rump state of the Western Roman Empire in northern Gaul ( present day France ) for some twenty-five years during Late Antiquity.

The Domain of Soissons ' evolution began when Emperor Majorian ( 457 – 461 ) appointed Aegidius as magister militum of the Roman Gaul.

When Aegidius was appointed magister militum of Gaul by Emperor Majorian, he took control of the remaining Roman troops in Gaul.

The kingdom of Tournai eventually came to dominate its neighbours, probably because of its association with Aegidius, the magister militum of northern Gaul.

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, " The enthusiasm felt for the Zohar was shared by many Christian scholars, such as Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Johann Reuchlin, Aegidius of Viterbo, etc., all of whom believed that the book contained proofs of the truth of Christianity.

Aegidius struck back by attacking Orleans with the help of Childeric, and the brother of king Theoderic, Frideric, was killed in the fighting.

However, Aegidius did not press his victory ; Elton speculates that Aegidius ' attention was distracted by " increasing conflict with various Frankish groups on the north-eastern frontier or lack of resources.

" Hilton notes that Aegidius had other rivals beyond the Visgoths he needed to confront: there were Saxons in the Loire valley, Bretons under Riothamus who fought the Visigoths, " sometimes in co-operation with the Italian imperial Romans ", and other Roman factions led by the comites Paul and Arbogast.

It is depicted in the Swiss illustrated chronicles of the period, and discussed by Reformation era historiographers such as Aegidius Tschudi and Wernher Steiner.

A work published under the name of L. Fenestella ( De magistratibus et sacerdotiis Romanorum, 1510 ) is really by A. D. Fiocchi, canon and papal secretary, and was subsequently published as by him ( under the Latinized form of his name, Floccus ), edited by Aegidius Witsius ( 1561 ).
