A Gallic warrior from the late Roman Empire. Son of Aegidius (?-464), who served as the Gallic military commander under the Western Roman Emperor Majorian (reigned 457-461). After the assassination of Majorian, he did not recognize his father's successor and ruled the area of northern Gaul, centered around Soissons, as a de facto independent force, and succeeded his father's territory (464). Even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, he was the last Roman power in Gaul, competing with the Germanic tribal kingdoms, but in 486 (or 487) he was attacked by the Frankish king Clovis and defeated near Soissons. He fled to the Visigoths in Toulouse, but the Visigoth king, who succumbed to Clovis's threats, handed him over to the Franks, where he was killed by Clovis' order, and his territory was annexed to the Frankish Kingdom.

ローマ帝政末期のガリアの武人。西ローマ皇帝マヨリアヌス(在位457~461)の下でガリア軍司令官を務めたアエギディウスAegidius(?―464)の息子。同帝が暗殺されたのち、その後継者を承認せず、事実上の独立勢力としてソアソンSoissonsを中心とする北ガリア一帯を支配した父の死後、その遺領を継いだ(464)。西ローマ帝国滅亡後も、ガリアにおける最後のローマ勢力としてゲルマン諸部族王国に伍(ご)していたが、486年(あるいは487年)、フランク王クロービスの攻撃を受け、ソアソン付近で敗北。トゥールーズToulouseの西ゴートの下に逃れたが、クロービスの威嚇に屈した西ゴート王により、フランクに引き渡され、クロービスの命で殺されて、その支配領域はフランク王国に併合された。 [後藤篤子] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
