Events

Roman rule in Gaul ends with the defeat at Soissons of the Roman governor Syagrius by the Franks under Clovis I. The land between the Loire and the Somme becomes a part of the Frankish realm. This event is often considered the genesis of the French state, though the territory of modern-day France was to remain divided between rival kingdoms for some centuries, and French language and nationality were to evolve gradually.
