Avitus’ Escape and conquest of Burgundy
On 461, Avit(Avitus) would escape from Rome to Northern Gaul in the court of Aegidius(Gil), later on Syagrius(Siagri) would marry a granddaughter of Avit named Severiana, a daughter of Saint Sidoni(Sidonius) and Gil and Siagri would secure their hold of Northern Gaul with the help of Brythonic mercenaries.
On the deposition of Romulus Augustus in 476, it was certain that the only Western Roman state surviving is the one ruled by Siagri, Siagri would secure Alvernha and Avaricum from the hands of the Visigoths with the help of his brother-in-law Apollinaris of Alvernha and he would declare his state as the successor of the Western Roman Empire aside from that of Nepos.
Siagri would reconquer the Kingdom of Burgundy in 486 from Godigisel with Siagri integrating the Burgundian realms to himself and forced Godigisel’s daughters and nieces as concubines of his mercenaries and men and the GalloRoman regime had reclaimed Lion, he would give the border lands in Brittany and the Border lands with the Visigoths to his Brythonic mercenaries.
