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.
