Event #1090
The Frankish conquest of Aquitaine began as the Franks expanded their territory into the southwestern region of present-day France. Under the leadership of Clovis I and his successors, the campaign sought to incorporate Aquitaine into the Merovingian domain.
The conquest marked a major shift in regional power, as the Franks challenged the independent rule of the Aquitanian nobility. The conflict involved several battles and sieges around key cities such as Bordeaux, shaping the political landscape of early medieval Gaul.
