Few details are known of the subsequent clash, the Battle of Soissons, but Syagrius was decisively defeated and fled.

Syagrius fled to the Visigothic king Alaric II, but the Franks threatened war if Syagrius were not surrendered to them.

Syagrius flees to the Visigoths ( under king Alaric II ), but Clovis threatens war and he is handed over for execution.

Intimidated by the victorious Franks, the Visigoths imprisoned Syagrius, then surrendered him to Clovis.

After winning an important victory over the Visigoths he died suddenly, and was succeeded by his son Syagrius.

In a thirty-year reign ( 481 – 511 ) he defeated the Roman general Syagrius and conquered the Roman enclave of Soissons, defeated the Alemanni ( Tolbiac, 504 ) and established Frankish hegemony over them, defeated the Visigoths ( Vouillé, 507 ) and conquered their entire kingdom ( save Septimania ) with its capital at Toulouse, and conquered the Bretons ( according to Gregory of Tours ) and made them vassals of Francia.

In 486, Clovis I, leader of the Salian Franks, defeated Syagrius at Soissons and subsequently united most of northern and central Gaul under his rule.

Childeric's son Clovis I ( 481 – 511 ) went on to unite most of Gaul north of the Loire under his control around 486, when he defeated Syagrius, the Roman ruler in those parts.

Roman rule under Syagrius ends.

From 457 to 486, under Aegidius and his son Syagrius, Noviodunum was the capital of the " Kingdom of Soissons ", until it fell to the Frankish king Clovis I in the Battle of Soissons.

Syagrius managed to hold off the neighbouring Salian Franks, who were internally divided under kings including Childeric.

Despite the assassination of Syagrius, the family evidently prospered under Frankish rule.

* Battle of Soissons ( 486 ) – A battle between the Franks, under Clovis I, and the Western Roman Empire, under Syagrius

In 486 the Frankish armies under Clovis triumphed over Syagrius, the last Roman official in Northern Gaul, at the Battle of Soissons.

In 486 Syagrius lost the Battle of Soissons to the Frankish king Clovis I and the domain was thereafter under the control of the Franks.

In 476, under the rule of Syagrius, the Domain of Soissons failed to accept the new rule of Odoacer who had dethroned the last Western Emperor earlier that year.

The Battle of Soissons was fought in 486 between Frankish forces under Clovis I and the Gallo-Roman domain of Soissons under Syagrius.

According to Gregory of Tours ' account, Alaric was intimidated by Clovis into surrendering Syagrius to Clovis ; Gregory then adds that " the Goths are a timorous race.

The captured Syagrius is brought before Alaric II who orders him sent to Clovis I

Most names shown are the Latin names of 5th century peoples, with the exceptions of Syagrius ( king of a Gallo-Roman rump state ), Odoacer ( Germanic peoples | Germanic king of Italy ), and Julius Nepos | ( Julius ) Nepos ( nominally last Western Roman emperor, de facto ruler of Dalmatia ).

The distinct area originated at the time of the death of Clovis I ( as well as the conquered territories over Syagrius ), when his sons divided his lands between them.

* Syagrius ( 430 –? 487 ), the last Roman commander in Gaul before the invasion of the Franks.

Syagrius governed using the title of dux ( a provincial military commander ), but the neighboring Germanic tribes referred to him as " King of the Romans "; hence the name of his enclave.

After the death of Syagrius ( 629 ), he is said to have obtained also the prefectship of Marseilles, but this is not certain.

The earliest documented event in Alaric's reign concerned providing refuge to Syagrius, the former ruler of the Domain of Soissons ( in what is now north western France ) who had been defeated by Clovis I King of the Franks.

" The Franks then imprisoned Syagrius, and once his control over Syagrius ' former kingdom was secure Clovis had him beheaded.

" Any threat of war Clovis could make would only be effective if they were neighbors ; " it is nowhere written that Syagrius was handed over in 486 or 487.

* 486: Clovis defeats Syagrius and conquers the last free remnant of the Western Roman Empire.

An important part of Clovis ' legacy is that he locally succeeded to the power of the Romans in 486 by beating the Gallo-Roman ruler Syagrius in the battle of Soissons.

In 486, with the help of Ragnachar, Clovis defeated Syagrius, the last Roman official in northern Gaul, who ruled the area around Soissons in present-day Picardy.

Syagrius ( 430 – 486 or 487 ) was the last Roman official in Gaul, whose defeat by king Clovis I of the Franks is considered the end of Western Roman rule outside of Italy.

Syagrius governed this Gallo-Roman enclave from the death of his father in 464 until 486, when he was defeated in battle by Clovis I.

Clovis made continual war against Syagrius, and in the end took over all his territory.

Syagrius lost the final battle of Soissons in 486 ; this victory is remembered by many as Clovis ' greatest victory.

Syagrius was sent back to Clovis, who had him executed in 486 / 7.

" At one point, Aegidius and / or Syagrius even threatened the Western Roman Empire with an invasion of Italy if the empire did not grant their requests.

The common consensus has been to follow Kurth, based on the historical truism that Romans hated kingship from the days of the expulsion of Tarquin the Proud ; for example, Syagrius ' article in the Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire omits this title, preferring to refer to him as a " Roman ruler ( in North Gaul )".

Despite being isolated from the surviving portions of the Roman Empire, Syagrius managed to maintain a degree of Roman authority in northern Gaul for twenty years, and his state survived longer than the Western Empire itself, the last Emperors being overthrown or killed in 476 and 480.

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 first evidence for his existence is found in a letter written by Saint Ambrose to Bishop Syagrius of Verona in which Ambrose refers to the holiness of Zeno.

* Syagrius, ruler of Domain of Soissons, manages to maintain the Roman authority in northern Gaul.

The honour was usually conferred on metropolitans, especially those nominated vicars by the pope, but it was sometimes conferred on simple bishops ( e. g., on Syagrius of Autun, Donus of Messina, and John of Syracuse by Pope Gregory I ).

: Syagrius ' kingdom.

Syagrius preserved his father's rump state between the Somme and the Loire around Soissons after the collapse of central rule in the Western Empire, a domain Gregory of Tours called the " Kingdom " of Syagrius.

As Edward Gibbon later wrote, " It would be ungenerous, without some more accurate knowledge of his strength and resources, to condemn the rapid flight of Syagrius, who escaped after the loss of a battle to the distant court of Toulouse.
