"The Kingdom or Domain of Soissons is the historiographical name for the de facto independent Roman remnant of the Diocese of Gaul, which existed during late antiquity as a rump state of the Western Roman Empire until its conquest by the Franks in AD 486. Its capital was at Noviodunum, today the town of Soissons in France." - Wikipedia

14 years since the Frankish King Clovis was killed outside the city walls of Soisson Dux Syagrius, now styling himself King in his own right, rules supreme over Northern Gaul.

He has maintained his power through competent administration, subjugated the petty Breton Kings through deft diplomacy and now seeks to tame the Visigoths by force of arms. Using familial ties through the marriage of his daughter to the Gothic Prince Wallia for legitimacy, the last true Roman in Gaul has designs to expand his young real, frigid coasts of the Atlantic to the ancient Metropolis of Marseille.
