		A battle was fought; it is generally called the battle of Soissons, though I do not think it was necessarily fought just at that city.
		A war of far greater moment, a war decisive in the growth of the Merovingian dominion, broke out in the year A.D. The kingdom of the Alamanni on the upper Rhine marched on its northern boundary with the territory of the Ripuarian Franks, and the Ripuarians had to suffer or resist Alamannic aggression.
		That battle was fought at Tolbiacum, now Zulpich, in the Duchy of Ulich, west of Bonn, which shows that the Alamanni had invaded Ripuarian territory.

	The Theatre In France - Liturgical Drama, Miracle Plays, And Comedy Before The Fourteenth Century
		IN the year 359 A.D. the Franks (most formidable of the barbarian hordes that ravaged the West) obtained from the Emperor Julian the right to settle along the left bank of the Rhine, and to occupy Belgium as Allies of the Empire.
		But, in 486, Clovis, the head of the tribe of Salic Franks, invaded Roman Gaul (where Syagrius was at that time reigning under the nominal authority of Zeno, Emperor of the East), and, as victor at the battle of Soissons, brought all the other Frankish tribes beneath his sceptre.
		During all this lapse of time, and down to the close of the tenth century, every trace is lost, not merely of theatrical performances properly so called, but of all kinds of dramatic composition, in the West.
