[PREVIEW] Bonus: The final battle that ended Rome's presence in Gaul.

Following the chaos of 476 AD, the final territorial vestige of Roman rule was the Kingdom of Soissons in Gaul, under the resilient Roman administrator, Syagrius. His authority was dramatically challenged by the rising star of the Germanic world, the fiercely ambitious Frankish King, Clovis I. Their decisive showdown in 486 AD at the Battle of Soissons resulted in Clovis’s complete victory, which swiftly dismantled the last claim to Roman sovereignty in the West. Syagrius’s subsequent capture and execution sealed the final chapter for the empire, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for Clovis to forge the beginnings of the unified Frankish kingdom.
