The Panegyric of Maximian, dating to 289 CE and attributed to Claudius Mamertinus, relates that during the Bagaudae uprising of 284–285, "inexperienced farmers sought military garb; the plowman imitated the infantryman, the shepherd the cavalryman, the rustic ravager of his own crops the barbarian enemy", which hardly sounds like a Christian revolt.

Only that the Bagaudae rebellion was fully successful in the Basque territory may explain that this people could remain independent of the German invaders and almost ignorant of the socio-economic structures of feudalism even in the late Middle Ages, despite of the overwhelming influence of its neighbours.

Bagaudae (also spelled Bacaudae) was the name for groups of peasant insurgents during the "Crisis of the Third Century", particularly in Gaul.
C.E.V. Nixon in In Praise of Later Roman Emperors: The Panegyrici Latini (1994) documents the Bagaudae as "bands of brigands who roamed the countryside looting and pillaging." They came to the attention of the authorities in 284, and were crushed by 286 under the Caesars Maximian and Carausius, working for Augustus Diocletian.

For example, in 408, one such group of highland Bagaudae waylaid the Visigothic freebooter Sarus as he crossed the Alps and compelled him to surrender all the loot his band had taken in Italy.
In all cases, however, we can say that the mere existence of armed bands was an implicit challenge to the authority of the state and the security of the landed classes, as well as being a comment on the absence of order in early fifth century Gaul.
Amongst modern historians, the most dogmatic view of the Bagaudae comes from the late E. Thompson who saw them in the narrowest of terms as servile revolutionaries and, conceivably, agents of a pan-Occidental movement aiming at the liberation of the slaves and overthrow of the ruling classes.

Bagaudae and de facto independence in the late Roman period.
Since the second half of the 4th century and along all of the 5th century, the fenomenon of Bagaudae had arisen precisely in the area of Basque population, though at times it becomame extensive to other regions as well.
The Visigoths reached Hispania in 416 and achieved their objectives very effectively in a short time: The Sueves became confined to mountainous Gallaecia, while Alans and part of the Vandals were annihilated (some Vandals did achieve their dreamed invasion of Africa, though).

Strictly speaking the Bagaudae were not barbarians, but revolted peasants from among the Roman citizenry, whose long-continued revolts had invested them in Roman eyes with a quasi-barbarian character; for the other barbarians note that in VII.
The revolt of the Bagaudae, analogous in many respects to that of the Jacquerie in the 14th century, broke out in Gaul in A.D. 283-4 because of oppression in that province, due especially to overheavy taxation.
The last mention of the Bagaudae in the Chronicle of Idatius is in the year A.D. 449, and the movement seems to have come to an end not long after this.

Mausaeus Carausius was born to a humble family in Menapia, a region of seafarers in what is today the southern part of the Nertherlands.
After playing a vital part in emperor Maximian's campaign in AD 286 against the uprising of the bagaudae in Gaul, Carausius was granted command of the North Sea Fleet, based at Gesoriacum (Boulogne).
His new role was to rid the sea of Frankish pirates who were harassing at the shores of Gaul along the Channel.

A general and short survey by an anthropologist is Eric Wolf's *Peasants.* Also, for Late Antiquity, the *bagaudae* are an interesting case.
There have been all sorts of arguments lately about the nature of this movement (or movements) and the recent contributions that I have seen tend to argue that the bagaudae were hardly at the bottom of the social ladder, and may have been quite far up.
But, but, but: The *bagaudae* were, whoever they were, considered very dangerous by the Roman authorities, who did not hesitate to unleash barbarian armies on districts dominated by their movement.

These groups were of varied size and composition; some doubtless consisted of local bandits or poachers while others were made up of disaffected farm workers, slaves and peasants; in isolated highland areas, some clans or tribes may have augmented their income by banding together and extorting money from travellers.
The motives of the Bagaudae no doubt varied from group to group with some seeking nothing more than plunder while others seem to have aimed at something like revolution.

In this view, the bagaudae become farmers who rallied around local leaders who could protect them both from barbarian invasions, such as that by the Alamanni in the early 260's, and from ravenous tax officials, curiales sent out from the cities to collect even more of the diminishing wealth of the hinterland.
In this sense, the conquest -- or better to say, the occupation -- of Gaul by the Visigoths, Burgundians, and Franks allowed the preservation of Roman culture by local communities at a time when Imperial officials were destroying culture by destabilizing local power structures and reducing the population to penury.
In 418 a new treaty settled the Goths in southern Gaul, ostensibly to defend the Empire against the bagaudae, and the Vandals, Alans, and Suevi in Spain.

          The Bagaudae were a disparate sub-class, thrown together by experiences of landlessness, disorder, and barbarian attacks.
The civil and military situation in the late third century required little embellishment to be presented as the result of collapsing central authority, and in urgent need of a remedy.
Whether or not the Bagaudae were responsible for encouraging wealthy Gallic landowners to take themselves off to Britain is an idea which can neither be proved or disproved, but it would have only enhanced the impression that Diocletian was unable to quash rebellions without considerable difficulty.

It is also significant that it represents a diminished fear of slave revolts on the part of the slave-owner.
Marxist historians, who have tried to find widespread slave revolts in such phenomena as the bagaudae and have claimed that ancient slavery ended with revolts just as did medieval serfdom, have ignored this basic factor.
The truth is that we do not know why the slave- owners should have been less fearful or why they should have allowed greater freedom, although there are many theories about the latter.

As late as 450, Attila had proclaimed his intent to attack the powerful Visigoth kingdom of Toulouse in alliance with Emperor Valentinian III.
He had previously been on good terms with the western Empire and its de facto ruler Flavius Aetius—Aetius had spent a brief exile among the Huns in 433, and the troops Attila provided against the Goths and Bagaudae had helped earn him the largely honorary title of magister militum in the west.
The gifts and diplomatic efforts of Geiseric, who opposed and feared the Visigoths, may also have influenced Attila's plans.

Additionally, he appointed Carausius to command his navy and to defeat the pirates; because of certain financial irregularities that had occurred during his successful tour, Carausius revolted and declared himself emperor.

In contrast to their cousins in the British isles all the Celts on the continent, most particularly the Gauls, had become fully Romanized in language and culture under the impact of Roman rule and settlement.
There was nevertheless at some stages in late Roman history a tendency for the Gallo-Romans to form their own separate empire, and between the 3rd and 5th centuries Roman rule was shaken by revolts of the Bagaudae (peasants who had fled their land).
After the Frankish king Clovis defeated Syagrius, the last independent Roman ruler in Gaul, in 486 it was left to the Germans to determine for centuries to come the political history of the Gallo-Roman majority.
