The Whole North Into Gaul

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Paris wasn't captured until 487 or so, when they overran the Domain of Soissons. In fact it wasn't even an important city for another few centuries.

They certainly probably stayed, but they no longer had the power to claim that land as their territory - they now were under Roman control (again) and were living in Roman lands as Roman federates. But they certainly deserve credit for being able to expand all the way up to Trier and Arras and taking 2 decades to come back under the Roman domain. After Aetius died they were free to go.

Also the name Merovaeus (Merovech) is only conjectural, there is no evidence for the name of the younger son of Chlodio whom succeeded the him.
