  • January 433: Clodione recovered and, after defeating the Romans, was soon able to take possession of the city of Cambrai. Having control of the Roman communication route, he advanced occupying the whole country up to the Somme and made Tournai, a city on the Scheldt, the capital of the Sali Franks. Thus began that expansionism and that historical process which would later lead to the formation of today's France.
