History[]
486[]
Visited British courts, including Logres, to seek support for retaking Frankland. In return for being put back on his throne he was offering half the treasury of the Franks - but King Uther and other British lords are too worried about local affairs to contribute troops.
488[]
Convinced King Uther to contribute troops - half the British army, lead by Prince Madoc, comes to Frankland and lays siege to Bayeux. However, Madoc refuses to honour his father's agreements and departs after that rather than press on to Soissons. Praetor Syagrius curses Madoc and presses on alone with his own troops.
489[]
News comes to Britain that Syagrius' troops were routed at Soissons. He is believed captured by the Franks.
