The Battle of Clodio

In four forty eight aetius was in north west gaul once again, this time battling and defeating an independent minded frankish king named clodio. The battle against clodio is important because it marks the first appearance of two men who will shortly move to the forefront of our story - Julius valerius majorianus and flavius richamer. And since marovitch is a semi mythical figure whose actual existence is disputed, some scholars point to clodio as the real founder of the dynasty. It's been a long time since i read holy blood, holy grail.
