Siagrio, f. siglo IV - p. siglo V

"Afranio Siagrio (latín: Syagrius; 430-486 o 487), conocido por los pueblos germánicos como "Rey de los Romanos", fue el último magister militum de las Galias. Hijo de Egidio, tras la muerte de este en 464, Siagrio mantuvo hasta 486 el gobierno como Dux del enclave de Suessionum (Soissons), después del colapso del gobierno central del Imperio Romano de Occidente. El reino de Siagrio fue destruido por la expansión territorial del reino franco de Clodoveo I. Tras ser derrotado por los francos en la batalla de Soissons (año 486), Siagrio pidió refugio a Alarico II (reino visigodo de Tolosa). Este, en vez de recibirlo, lo hizo prisionero y lo envió a Clodoveo, quien mandó decapitarlo en el 487. Su régimen representó el último ejemplo registrado de una autoridad nativa galo-romana en la Galia."

"Syagrius (430 - 486 or 487) was the last Roman military commander in Gaul, whose defeat by king Clovis I of the Franks is considered the end of Western Roman rule outside of Italy. He came to this position through inheritance, for his father was Aegidius, the last Roman magister militum per Gallias. Syagrius preserved his father's rump state between the Somme and the Loire around Soissons after the collapse of central rule in the Western Empire, a domain Gregory of Tours called the "Kingdom" of Soissons. Syagrius governed this Gallo-Roman enclave from the death of his father in 464 until 486, when he was defeated in battle by Clovis I. Historians have mistrusted the title "rex Romanorum" that Gregory of Tours gave him, at least as early as Godefroid Kurth, who dismissed it as a gross error in 1893. The common consensus has been to follow Kurth, based on the historical truism that Romans hated kingship from the days of the expulsion of Tarquin the Proud; for example, Syagrius' article in the Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire omits this title, preferring to refer to him as a "Roman ruler (in North Gaul)". However, S. Fanning has assembled a number of examples of rex being used in a neutral, if not favorable, context, and argues that "the phrase Romanorum rex is not peculiar to Gregory of Tours or to Frankish sources", and that Gregory's usage may indeed show "that they were, or were seen to be, claiming to be Roman emperors."
