About this person
Syagrius inherited his enclave from his father Aegidius, the last Roman magister militum per Gallias, and from 464 onward governed the territory between the Somme and the Loire while the Western Empire dissolved around him. Gregory of Tours called him "King of the Romans" - a title historians have long distrusted, given Rome's loathing of kingship since Tarquin, though some now argue the phrase may signal a claim to imperial authority itself. In 486 or 487, Clovis I defeated him in battle. The rump state fell, and with it the final pretense of Roman rule north of the Alps.
