Chronology
Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation
November 458: In late 458 Majorian led his army, reinforced by a contingent of barbarians, into Gaul, driving Theodoric II's Visigoths from Arelate, forcing them to revert to foederati status and to hand over the diocese of Spain, which Theodoric had conquered three years earlier to name of Avitus.
November 458: With the help of his new foederati, Majorian then penetrated the Rhone valley, conquering it both by force and diplomacy: in fact he defeated the Burgundians and retook Lyon after a siege, condemning the city to pay a large war indemnity.
November 456: In 456, upon the death of the emperor of Gallic origin Avitus, the Burgundians took advantage of the imperial weakness to expand southwards, even reaching the point of taking Lyon, which opened the gates to the invaders.
