What is the possibility of Roman rump states, former Roman provinces, or nation's based partially on Roman culture being created or surviving in Western Europe during the decline of the Western Roman Empire? I know that their was the Kingdom of Soissons, a rump state in northern Gaul ruled by Aegidius, although I am not sure if it was fully de-facto independent.


I have a severe lack of knowledge about the very early Middle Age's in Western Europe but I am very curious in knowing how an independent Roman state would be ruled and if Christianity and the Pope would have any influence over regional politics.
