  • January 477: After Gaul had increasingly slipped away from Western Roman control since the death of the power-conscious general Aëtius in 454, the Franks used the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, which had been shattered by civil wars (around 476), to fill the power vacuum that had arisen and take over their territory on their own enlarge, similar to the Visigoths in the south.
