Soissons, Battle of

Years: 486 - 486

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

The battle is a victory for the Franks, and leads to the conquest of the Roman rump state of Soissons, a milestone for the Franks in their attempt to establish themselves as a major regional power.
