Battle of Soissons
Clovis destroys the last Roman enclave in Gaul
In 486 the young Salian Frankish king Clovis defeated Syagrius, ruler of the Roman domain centred on Soissons. Syagrius fled to the Visigoths, who handed him over, and Clovis had him executed; the Franks took northern Gaul as far as the Loire.
