The Franco-Roman War of 486 was a military conflict between the Franks led by Clovis I and a Roman rump state ruled by Syagrius. The war took place in the provinces Gallia Lugdunensis with the exception of Gallia Lugdunensis I (present-day Burgundy), Belgica Prima and Germania Prima. The war is the first in the series of wars that Clovis fought to establish his hegemony over the territory of the Romans in Gaul. The victory of the Franks was a milestone in his attempt to become the main power.
