From the ashes of Rome – Battle of Tolbiac, 496 AD – Rise of the Frankish Empire
🚩 Today we have the Battle of Tolbiac, which took place in Gaul during/after the collapse of the last fragments of the Western Roman Empire. Despite being fought in AD 496 (or 506, depending on who you ask) it marked the beginning of what would one day become modern France.

🚩 Sources for this one are quite scarce, so it was a bit tricky piecing it together. I hope you'll enjoy the show!

Awesome video! I wanted to name my youngest son Clovis, but my wife objected strongly. I showed her every second of this video. Pretty sure if it was around seven years ago, I would have won that battle.
as a sacrifise to an algoritm
Im a simple man, I see a new HistoryMarch Video and I Like.
How can I get this map?
Are you planning on finishing the Anarchy series?
It's always a great day when HistoryMarche posts a video!
In Footnote 2, are you saying that one of Clovis's sons has the exact same name as his daughter (Clotaire)? Footnote 3 seems like a jumbled mess.
Great video
That effect, when you showed migration of Alemani tribe in app13:30 is great, it show nice data about history. If you could make this about Slavs (I am Czech so mainly about this branch), it would be great!:-)
For the algorithm
Wow this was a particularly epic video from this channel! You guys always do a fantastic job, but I feel like this video had especially excellent writing
