	Syagrius
		Syagrius was the son of Aegidius (the last magister militum per Gallias, who had founded a "kingdom" with Soissons at its centre).
		Having been defeated at his capital, he made the mistake of escaping to Alaric II, the Visigoth, based at Toulouse, but instead of refuge he found himself repatriated to Clovis, and was murdered in 487.
		His brief regime is of interest principally because he represented the last vestige of native Gallo-Roman[?] authority in Gaul: in fact he was known to the barbarians as the "King of the Romans".

	Amazon.fr : King of the Romans: Livres en anglais: John Gorman,Stuart Langston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The title of the novel is ironic for Syagrius is a true Roman, beholden to the Empire and Emperor and only tolerant of the title "King" given him by the people of his province to humor them.
		Syagrius exists out of time, embodying a set of values long since departed from his province as well as from the baths of Rome.
		Syagrius (is) true to the values that built the Empire; he simply lives in a world that has discarded them.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Clovis
		Syagrius, being defeated, fled for protection to Alaric II, King of the Visigoths, but the latter, alarmed by a summons from Clovis, delivered Syagrius to his conqueror, who had him decapitated in 486.
		Through a ruse he obtained possession of Chararic and his son and threw them into prison; he then had their heads shaved, and both were ordained, the father to the priesthood and the son to the diaconate.
		Moreover, the author of this article is of opinion that these events occurred shortly after the conquest of the territory of Syagrius, and not after the war against the Visigoths, as has been maintained by Gregory of Tours, whose only authority is an oral tradition, and whose chronology in this matter is decidedly misleading.

	Northvegr - The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians
		Syagrius resided at Soissons, and against Soissons Clovis moved in 486.
		Syagrius was utterly defeated, and he fled to the court of the Visigothic king at Toulouse.
		The truth seems to be that it was his success in that war and the heightening of his prestige that enabled Clovis to take steps to make his own authority sole and undivided over the Salians, and to get rid of the other kings.

	Awe-Struck: NW Tales of the Season, romance anthology ebook
		Syagrius is a historical character, the last Roman ruler in Gaul, known to the tribes as "King of the Romans." His domain included much of what is today Northern France, with its capital at Noviodunum, modern Soissons.
		Syagrius had set aside the meditative and introspective character he had inherited from his pensive mother to become a judge and a warrior like his father whose firmness and courage were the hope of his friends and the terror of his foes.
		Syagrius mounted the stairs that led from the courtyard to the parapet and walked swiftly along the wall to the base of the tower overlooking the gate.

	The Ultimate Syagrius Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		Syagrius (died 487) was the son of Aegidius, the last Roman magister militum per Gallias, who had preserved a rump state around Soissons after the collapse of central rule in the western empire.
		Having been defeated at his capital, Syagrius sought refuge with Alaric II, king of the Visigoths, based at Toulouse, but was instead imprisoned and repatriated to Clovis, and was murdered in 487, stabbed in secret according to Gregory of Tours.
		His brief regime is of interest because he represented the last recorded instance of native Gallo-Roman authority in Gaul: in fact he was known to the Germanic barbarians as the "King of the Romans".

	Syagrius - LoveToKnow 1911
		From 464 to 486 he governed that part of Gaul which lies between the Maas, the Scheldt and the Seine, and was termed "king of the Romans" by the German invaders, Franks, Burgundians and Visigoths, who already occupied the rest of Gaul.
		Defeated in 486 by Clovis, king of the Salian Franks, at the battle of Soissons, Syagrius fled, leaving his land at the mercy of the Franks.
		He sought refuge with Alaric II., king of the Visigoths, at Toulouse, but Alaric imprisoned him instead of granting him refuge, and delivered him up to Clovis.

	XXXVIII: Reign Of Clovis Page 2
		The first exploit of Clovis was the defeat of Syagrius, the son of Ægidius; and the public quarrel might, on this occasion, be inflamed by private resentment.
		In the midst of these peaceful occupations, Syagrius received, and boldly accepted, the hostile defiance of Clovis; who challenged his rival in the spirit, and almost in the language, of chivalry, to appoint the day and the field of battle.
		But the courage and numbers of the Gallic youth were long since exhausted; and the loose bands of volunteers, or mercenaries, who marched under the standard of Syagrius, were incapable of contending with the national valor of the Franks.

	Language Log: Annals of prescriptivism: a Roman instructs the Germans in their own language
		It's about 460 or 470 A.D., and Sidonius Apollinaris writes a letter to his friend Syagrius, who's been spending his time among the Burgundians, a German tribe who have set up housekeeping in "Sapaudia", which was near present-day Geneva (or maybe Lyons, different sources tell me different things about this).
		Syagrius' Burgundians, meanwhile, had survived a rough century, having been nearly annihilated by the Gepids in around 370, and then nearly wiped out again by Hun mercenaries hired by the Romans in 437.
		And it's plausible that Syagrius' Gothic was better than their own, especially in terms of pronunciation, which he could get from the orthography.

	VII. The Germans In Gaul - The Franks And Clovis Page 4
		He had two neighbors: one, hostile to the Franks, the Roman patrician Syagrius, who was left master at Soissons after the death of his father AEgidius, and whom Gregory of Tours calls "King of the Romans;" the other, a Salian-Frankish chieftain, just as Clovis was, and related to him, Ragnacaire, who was settled at Cambrai.
		They fought, and Syagrius was driven to take refuge in Southern Gaul with Alaric, king of the Visigoths.
		The Franks who accompanied him were not long before they also felt the growth of his power; like him they were pagans, and the treasures of the Christian churches counted for a great deal in the booty they had to divide.

	Syagrius, "King of the Romans" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A parallel could be made --maybe-- between Arthur and an historically attested character by the name of Syagrius Afrianus, son of Aegidius, who controlled from 464 to 486 AD a tract of land in NW France which was the last remnant of the Western Empire in Gaul.
		Although nominally "Roman", Syagrius issued a coinage that was but a pale imitation of the late imperial coinage, with the inscription "romanus rex" stamped on it.
		Syagrius, for the general population, was nothing else but another "rex", similar to the many others lurking around in the countryside at that time.

	St. Desiderius of Cahors
		Rusticus became a priest and finally Bishop of Cahors; Syagrius became count of the territory of Albi and prefect of the city of Marseilles; Desiderius stayed on at the court where he held the important office of royal treasurer, an office that he retained under the new king, Dagobert (629-639), whose confidant he was.
		After the death of Syagrius (629), he is said to have obtained also the prefectship of Marseilles, but this is not certain.
		Faithful to the admonitions of his pious mother, Desiderius led at court the serious holy life of a monk, and administered his office with great fidelity.

		When those blue eyes opened, he would be Lucius Publius Syagrius, King of the Romans, as the tribes called him, procurator of the last Roman province in Gaul, all that remained of the Empire in the West.
		For years, Syagrius had kept the old Roman custom of having only a hunk of dark bread dipped in sauce and a cup of water for his breakfast.
		Syagrius was always eager to learn from her what had actually been said and by whom.

		Syagrius is listed as the last magister militum in Gaul, and remained the Dux in control of the area until Clovis, king of the Franks, defeated him at Soissons in 486 -- ten years after the deposing of Romulus Augustulus.
		The barbarians actually referred to him as "king of the Romans" until he was defeated.
		It seems a bit like the Empire of Trebizond, which survived for a while after the fall of Constantinople, a slice of the old empire which stood briefly for a while after the lights went out in the capital.
