[/FONT][FONT=&quot]CHAPTER 1- EMERGING FROM THE ANARCHY[/FONT]




ON September 4TH 476 A.D the Roman Empire was supposed to be overrun, destroyed and made obsolete. Yet just declaring the fall of the west with the conquest of an out dated city would be insulting history. To the North in Sossians, under the rule of the Gallo roman Syagrius Rome was very much alive, So begins a history of two and a half centuries. Early on Syagrius faced numerous threats that almost sniffed out the fledging nation immediately. The most dangerous of these threats were by far the Franks to the east, they already stripped Gaul of the Rhineland’s decades before, but under the rule of a certain Childeric had become allies. The accession of Childrec’s son Clovis changed all of this. While sources remain sketchy, it is clear that Clovis made a move against Syagrius it is clear that he did not have all of the franks behind him and there was a certain faction that fought with the Gaul’s in 485 . What we do know of the battle near the city of Sossians there was a major battle in size and destruction only supplemented by the hunnish war three decades before. Clovis’s army seemed to had been flanked by Roman Allied German Calvary resulting in the death of Clovis and most of the rouge franks. Syagrius reclaimed the lost border lands and marched to the Rhine, killing those that opposed him along the way. He would die a peaceful death on January 3rd 490, his son Syagrius III would prove to be a competent ruler.



Syagrius ignored opportunities to step on the Burgandi and the Allmaani in order to reclaim yhe still roman lands in Britain. Since the withdrawal of the last legions in 410 Brittan had fallen into continual chaos for the past 80 years. The former roman provinces were quickly split into feudal estates who then found themselves vulnerable at the hands of the native picts tribes. Desperately one of the local rulers Vortigern invited the Saxons over to Britain to drive back the picts, in exchange for some land around Canticum, (Kent). The Saxons took up the offer enthusiastically and quickly pushed back the raiders, however after the Saxon Warriors observing the still advanced architecture of the Roman Britains decided they could never return to their shabby communities in Saxony. Thousands of Germans emigrated to Britain, and turned on Vortigern, thus by 490 the Saxons had driven deep into Britain and split up into a few kingdoms like Kent and Sussex.


In 492 Syagrius II leaving local control in his wife Zoe, crossed the British Channel in the spring with legions landing on the village Dubrus. This army of 10,000 was hardly shadow of the legions during the glory days. As with a growing trend in the last years of the empire there was a large contingent of Calvary who were mainly Frankish, there was Some Armocians from the far west peninsula. Finally there were around 2,000-4,000, Romans that armed and fought in a way similar to that of the legions from Constantine Reforms initiated two centuries before. The Chronicle of the Last Romans state that Syagrius was almost immediately ambushed by southern angels and jutes from the Saxon communities in Canticum, however these failed to deter the gallo Romans and the legions began to pillage the country side in the summer of Finally provoking the Teutons to an open field battle near the old city of Londnium in spring of 493, driving out most of the newcomers from southern Albion for half a century.


The Expedition marched through middle southern Britain dispersing many Saxon colonies along the way, and onwards to the remnants of the Christian Roman British in Cornwall and Wales. Establishing good relations with the local leaders and regular trade routes, Syagrius also left some garrisons to help protect Southern Britain before returning to the European Continent in 495. Most importantly Syagrius’s routine included many missionaries- some of them who had lived in Papal Rome and formally brought the Britions into the Catholic Church. Missions were also sent north to convert the Pagan Scots and Pitics which over time had once again become a nuisance. Sygarius II mysteriously died around 499, leaving control to one his rising generals Aedigus.

a nice start. i'd like some more detail around the POD and also for you to remember to capitalize all of your proper nouns like Franks instead of franks, which you did several times.

Yeah I dont know what to do about the POD because there isnt much information from this chaotic time period maybe if I ever do a remake Ill do something then. Ill work with the grammar though,
 
CHAPTER 2
AMBITIOUS ENOUGH TO BE A CAESAR


draco6.jpg

UNLIKE the two Syagriuses before him, the 18 year reign of Aedigus began upon inheriting power in 499 he gave up the title of magister millitum , and declared himself “ dominus protectorem” (lord protector) of the last true roman state Aedigus reflecting the cold relations with the Byzantines since the fall of the West refused to recognize Anastasius I as any inheritor of the Roman Legacy solidifying the former split between the Latin west and the Greek East.

Upon his arrival to office much of the old region of Gaul was still in the hands of the Visigoth , the Burgandi and the Allmani. Aedigus being an excellent military man understood that he at the time did not have the resources to get engaged more wars immediately. The chaos of the mid 5th century left the bureaucracy and the military in disarray, as reported by John of Antioch Aedigus did not seem to reform the system but simply refined to make it more workable and fluid, this allowed for more effective tax collection and military recruitment.


Not too away the affairs of the state were the monasteries, in the world of the 6th century were some of the only institutions that maintained stability and education. Secluded orders cropped up all over the former Roman Empire, even in Barbarian controlled Italy and Spain, and begin to wield themselves as a permanent part of the Royal Court. Most significant of all of the Priests laid Sanit Remigius who was granted by all of the rulers of Sossians significant territory on which to build new monasteries future more, a type of general education system would gradually take hold of the kingdom. Convinced by Remigius , Aedigus a religious man agreed to set up Sunday School Ordinances for small children in 503 to make sure that most of the populace were literate.


By 511 Western Europe saw the first true Roman Army in over a 100 years, an army of in total 30,000 men (six legions) of Comitatenses and Limitanei, a amazing success of rehabilitation of an utterly broken system. From this point on the rest of his reign would be a steady list of wars, which were mostly won v.s the Allamani, in the Rhineland’s in a such crushing victory at Durontocum. that they are hardly ever mentioned again in written history. Like all things in this time there are little sources to draw back on the battle’s biggest important importance lies in the return of the prominence of infantry. Refined Roman Strategy overturned the brute force of different Germanic tribes. Yet his greatest achievement by was the Visigoth war,


During the last breaths of the old empire, the Visigoths enraged after being abused by the young emperor Valentinian sacked Rome and then moved on to Hispania and set up fledging kingdoms. Taking advantage of dynastic disputes, Aedigus with an uneasy pact with the Ostrogoth-Byzantine Supported Theodoric the Great in crushing a large Germanic army commanded by Gasalic an illegitimate son of Alaric II in Barcelona, the two allies surrounded and eliminated the Visigoths and killed Gasalic. Following previous accords with the Ostrogoths the Gallo Romans withdrew beyond the Pyrenees retaking all of Galla Norbonesis. Therefore in this way control over all of Gaul had been restored
.

[FONT=&quot] After his death in 515 Aedigus became a celebrated warrior for millennia to come, viewed even today by a hero by many- like another generation of Marcus Aruelius or even Trajiin, his works insured the survival of the last Roman Remnant for the time being,- the death of the Lord Protector would open a new dangerous door

Notes:
This certainly is not the best timeline in the world, it's more of a rough draft than anything. I feel like I should have described Aedigus to more detail (I havent had any time this weekend) so I will use to next update to describe Aedugus's family

[FONT=&quot]THE TERRIBLE SON
[/FONT]image002.jpg
ARTGUR RIDING IN TO SOSSIANS

Despite the brief resurgence of Sossians, the last roman nation would be refused a renaissance, as with it’s parent nation it’s worst enemy was a dynasty gone wrong. Upon the death of Aedigus his 19 year old son Felectius took to the throne, If Aedigus was truly the Aurelian than Felectius was the Commodious. Felectius was the classic failure as a governance. Quickly Slashing the programs that made his father’s administration great he centered his life among the pleasures of royal life, among those holding extravagant parties for the upper class and raised the taxes on the poor. All of these were Things that the commoners again and again had suffered from the less excellent of roman governance.
Initially popular with the people Felectius, soon ran the carefully tilled budgets dry and by 518 his reign of terror began, as taxes grew more punishing, Felectius began to use the army to attack those who failed to pay their taxes killing the men and selling their families into slavery. Felectius became hated from all parts of gallo society and alienated it’s most trusted allies in Britannia and Armorica . One of the local leaders from the wild country of western Britannia Artgurwent so far as to declared an independent state in Britain, little did Felectius know that this young usurper would be the nail in his coffin.
This certain Artgur had considerable support from the masses as a hero, though according to 8th century accounts a Breton motherless had imperial ambitions, and seemingly worked with high scale officials within the capital against Felectius. As troubled times turned into instability a Frankish Invasion over the Rhine in 527 was met unchecked, and pillaged the western lands. To make matters worse the Saxons got in the act as well and put a foothold on Alboina . On January 10th after Winter Celebrations Felectius was found dead in his chamber. In which the military placed his sickly younger brother Beatrix on the throne. As the Franks continued unabated they destroyed several cities and made their way towards the city of Sossians, desperately Beatrix took the remnants of the army outside the city and barely defeated the Franks.
Meanwhile in Britain Artgur united all of Southern Britain and even allied with the Scots, positioning his forces on the Temese (Thames) conducted a sneak attack on the Saxon Encampments on a cold October night, the remaining invaders sailed down the river towards their old homes in Canticum where they would stay for a decade. Artgur on the other hand crossed the channel with his loyal supporters to be the next Lord Protector. As Betraix contracted some type of Typhoid he became increasingly unfit to rule and resigned in August 528, He would die in 531 at 34 years old, everything fell into place for lucky Artgur for except for a local general vaguely known as Cyriacus , who was soon pushed aside, on November Artgur was declared Lord Protector of the Romans.
While being a local hero many of the citizens within the city did not enjoy what they considered as a “Barbarian Leader” – even today historian’s debate on whether Artgur’s reign was a success or failure but regardless it will still be one of the most memorable


Notes Obviously here as in other updates there are numerous ancient names and reference to mythological or scarcely known characters- I plan to tie the Byzantines with the next report.

[FONT=&quot]CHAPTER 4- [/FONT]​
[FONT=&quot]THE COMING OF THE GREEKS[/FONT]​
Artgur’s reign began on the onset of winter and a nation quickly recovering from the instability of the past. If there is any way to describe this strange figure it would most certainly be his unparalleled ambition and his ego. Firstly Artgur seemed to develop a notion of a frigus bellum or “cold war” with the Greek East, and attempted to copy the Justinian Reforms, handing out generous gifts to eastern intellectuals the old city of Marseilles bloomed with new light as it became the new center of commerce in the Western Mediterranean and began to take prominence over the city of Sossians and all of the northern cities. This emergence Frigus Bellum began to become a competition between Byzantium and Marseilles, such to the point that when news of the construction of the Holy Wisdom (Haga Sophia), Artgur would build his shrine in the southern city.
Artgur sent ambassadors to the east to look for skilled engineers to all parts of the world, to build what would be known as the Maxium Divium Domous, Besides receiving former planners of Constantinople reportedly one of the diplomats traveled as far as Gupta India via the Red Sea , while the Indians he returned with the first construction is the only recorded contact with the orient. Construction of the domed Maxium Divium Domous however would be halted in 540 and would not be finished for decades. Artgur would never live to realize his dream of a truly “third rome”
Of course the cold war was not limited to petty quibbling and show in tell but of swords and spears . As the Byzantine Army under the general Belisarius retook Rome in 539 Artgur Personally lead an army of 30,000 to the Po River Valley and peacefully aligned with the local rulers of the broken country against the Byzantines.
“The idea of a show down between the former parts of the Imperial Empire had long pressed the minds of both ruling houses when it became clear the Sossians survived the invasions of the late 5th century,” - John of Antioch. Artgur prepared his army during the winter of 539 in the city of Ravenna, he met Totlia the last king of the Goths and together they planned their defense for the spring.
In March Belisarius commanded 40,000 Greeks and Italians for the final conquest of Northern Italy, while the galluish- gothic alliance now in Manuta prepared for a river war. On the night of April 4th Artgur used his expertise in night fighting to ambush the Greeks who had still not completely crossed the river withdrew to the south with heavy casualties, it seems that Belisarius was unaware of exactly who and how many were defending Northern Italy and grossly underestimated the fighting forces of the western domains. Belisarius withdrew south and attempted to recover the numbers loss from the battle of Manuta. Artgur and Totlia meanwhile became confident and lead raids into the Italian mid country regularly through the autumn of 539. While most Contemporary Historians Believe that Artgur could have never defeated the Byzantines in a protracted war, we will never know how this war would have played out. For all commanders of all nations were about to be struck by the worse enemy of all- the plague
 
Can any one give me pointers on this? feed back would be appreciated...

Well, no offense meant, but your TL exaggerate the possibilities of Syagrius a lot.

The northern Gaul before Clovis victory at Soissons was more a buffer zone than a region between two states : Clovis and Syagrius were leader of two differant roman armies if you want, one mainly composed by franks, the other by nothern gallo-romans and mixed Germans.

Furthermore, even if Syagrius could have been the founder of a northern state in Gaul (still plausible) he couldn't have the resources to move on all fronts, and certainly not in Britain : the Frisians mastered the northern sea at this time and a gallo-roman expedition would be really unlikely.

The number of the army you gives seems to me unrealistic, such as the 30,000 men of 511 especially if they are all gallo-roman.
By the way, the Gallo-Romans didn't have a particular roman nationalism feeling. Syagrius or his predecessor didn't even acknowledged any emperor.

If the gallo-romans (or more precisely, gallo-roman land owners) organized militias, it was to protect their social positions and their lands, not the roman spirit.

Aegidius seems to have attacked everyone in Gaul in the same move, and such attack would have been hard to lead on all fronts.
In fact, such munchikinery would have costed him territories or at least a defeat in Aquitaine if things turned logically.

For the part with "roman strategy" and "german savagry", you should really be less biased here. The germano-roman kingdoms have actually quite mastered the roman tactics, and it's basically why they won against them.

What's strikes me the more is the total absence of religious affair or diplomacy. If Clovis managed to became other than a war leader, it was because he used it, against Arian Wisigoths with allying with Burgundy, etc.

Your idea of making Syagrius the founder of a northern Gaul state instead of Clovis isn't bad, don't get me wrong. But you should really study the period, look into historical works about it in order to make it plausible and less wank.

Thank you, I have mailny studied Roman Brition and the the conditions of late roman gaul quite frankly most of the sources were so obscure I didnt even know how to make it accurate.

I figured they didnt have nationalism quite at first, but I would think that a relgious zeal could permate and then with the reign of someone like Aedgius excite the massess

Well, the most obvious think to do is to use french sources that are actually well done in this subject.
If you don't understand it, i would likely suggest you to learn even a bit if you want to continue your idea, because otherwiste you'll be limited for your sources.

I have nevertheless some sources in english to propose you :

-Dark Ages Economics, of Richard Hodges
-Before France and Germany, by Patrick Geary
-Early Germanic Kingship in England and on the Continent - John Michael Wallace-Hadrill

If it exist in english, "The Frankish Origins" by Stéphane Lebecq is very clear.

The problem, is that early medieval warfare is not about the masses : it's about an elite. It's such since the last century of Roman Empire.

What could push an army to be loyal to a cause, or to a man is the capacity of this said man to 1)Protect their possessions 2)Grant them the acquisition of new possessions.

If i could advice you something, is to reboot your TL by keeping the idea of Syagrius becoming the founder of a northern Gaul Roman-Germanic state. But instead of England (that is totally implausible), i'll suggest you to have a war agains Brittons of Armorica, and Burgunds.

Now, i'm not the most well placed to council you that, it's just a personal opinion.

ll take a look at some of those sources,
and your right about the loyalty part, of course I was attempting to change that aspect to develop the middle ages differently but the late 400's its probably to late for that

Any ways thanks for the help even if it is just opinion it will be easier to refine this now
 
CHAPTER 5- ITALY,WOMAN AND A PASSING EMPIRE

Times New Roman', Times, serif]Everything that had been happening in Christendom in 540 came to a grinding halt. Out of the far east came a terrible bubonic plague, during the chaos and social break down in far off Ceres sanitation became a luxury and a disease was born. Crawling into Europe by striking at Constantinople it spread extremely fast all over Europe arriving to Erie by late 541. In most large cities like Constantinople, Alexandra, Carthage Marseills and Sossians over half of the populace was killed within a matter of months. So deadly was the disease that even the Artgur himself died from in it in the summer.
The winter, harsh as it was became a gift for the survivors temporarily subduing the plague, and the next spring saw the collapse of the Byzantine as they being the larger force were wounded much worse than their northern counterparts. Totila took supreme command of all of the gallo goths and took his revenge against Belsarius pursuing him all the way to Tarentum and defeated him there despite having a slightly smaller army in August of 543, capturing Belsarius and kicking the Byzantines out of Italy entirely. Justinian sent a punitive expedition to free Belsarius out of the hands of the goths but it seemed to had failed miserably. Any way by March of 544 the proud Justinian had given up on the western lands, Belsarius was condemned to an comfortable but humiliating life of retirement.
Times New Roman', Times, serif]
This did not mean that the city of Rome however had given up the fight against the Ostrogoth's, despite being a shadow of it's former self it was still very defensible all the same and lasted for over six months in siege, before finally opening up the gates, Totila was crowned again by his army of loyal Gauls, Italians, goths, vandals and even a few Greeks. Yet Totila was not crowned of Italy but Emperor of the Romans and claimed all of Gaul, Iberia and the British Lands. Artgur had left his wife Seibar as regent in his steed. Seibar born a common woman caught the eyes of Artgur not unlike what Theodora had done to Justinn. A powerful lady she was- a force to be reckoned with. Upon hearing the death of Artgur she proclaimed herself Empress of the Roman Lands. Despite being a friends of Artgur Seibar was loath to give up total control of her kingdom- or title for that matter. She was pressed since almost all of the army had gone to Italy and those who had remained died of the plague. Desperately appealing to her piticsh allies and local peasants she tromped southwards where she met Totila in the foothills of the Alps.
Totila, was shocked at the sight of a woman contesting his right to anything at all. And laughed at her messengers whole heartily and disdainfully told them to return to the knitting room. Seibar and her chieftain ally Talaroc prepared for battle, imagining herself as a second Boadicea she personally approached Totila demanding his withdraw addressing him as the king of the Southern Germans. Totila on the other hand impressed by her bravery asked for Seibar's hand in marriage which she abruptly refused at first.

We do not know what happened on that night of May 1st 545 except that Seibar's mind seemed suddenly changed, perhaps realizing the odd yet unfeasible situation she accepted the marriage proposal .
On July 20th 545 Totila was crowned co emperor of the restored Roman Empire in the city of Rome, in which Seibar was recognized as Co Empress. Yet short lived the restored empire represented something bigger than it's self.
 
CHAPTER 6-
A DREAM RELAIZED BUT NOT SASISTIFED

At first glance the crowning of Totila a Goth as the emperor of Rome along with that of a powerful woman was anything but Roman this depends on the mindset of the reader because the Latins like all true civilizations evolved with the times to survive into our own years. However this was not the old “classical Rome” of the gladius, gods and fat dark haired Italians this was the new Rome the Rome that was a glimpse of the centuries and millennia to come.The couple attempted to bring together western Europe like no other leader had done since the Battle of Milvian Bridge. However the plague- and it’s after shocks defined their whole administration. Unlike the Pax Romana there simply was not dozens of bustling metropolises at their disposal, nor they did have the millions of legionaries to project their will power.This new revived Rome did not even cover the whole expanse of western Europe only Gaul, Italy, Southern Brittan and the east coast of Iberia. The Empire found it’s self bankrupt as attempted to hold up everything that had once been- including a massive restoration project of the roads (546-550) which was soon aborted only half completed, work on the Maxium Dominous was carried out between 547 and 560 and ended no where near completion. The coffers soon ran dry and there was a soldier’s rebellion in Londonium that was brutally put down, further more new incursions from different Teutonic peoples most notably with the Lombardi stretched the union thin.
However moving away from the practical side of the first restoration period it has become a very sentimental piece in world history, being reflected in countless volumes of literature. And it seems that despite all of the problems that the leadership scathed by the religious casts were loved by the common people, according to Anius of Ravenna there was a feminist movement within the lower classes.
Never before in this part of the civilized world had there been a powerful lady with the name Empress, the farmers and blacksmiths were inspired by her courage and strength and so the women so long locked up in the urn began to take matters into their own hands, after the death of the beloved woman Sebiar people returned to the old ways”

It is true that the years of Seboar were called the age of Camelot in which after her passing there was a true emotion of mourning and even despair among the popele Sebiar died in 562 after a reign of two years leaving her husband to rule alone, after her death he had reportedly lost his touch with the court and withdrew to his camber in incessant depression. The last six years of Totila saw the dream of a reunified Rome waver more, as the once optimistic and grippingly successful king be taken aback by what he understood as a failure in his own self. Totila died in 568 handing down the throne to a rising general Gunerotus. [1]

I would like to post the maps here but it seems that it is too large for the server to handle ....

The red is Sossians or the Western Roman Empire if you will the light blue in Scotland and Ireland represent allies and trading partners, the light red symbolizes a vassal situation with Carthage (Tunis) that broke away with the Byzantines after the Italian War

The Purple Represents Byzantium disgruntled because of the Goths and Gauls the light purple represent Arab Allies.

The Green Represents Sassiad Persia and the light green is..... you guessed it more Arab allies
