Felix, a patrician of Toulouse, unites under his rule the duchies of Vasconia and Aquitaine.

Evidence suggests that his duchy was a recreation of the old kingdom of Charibert II.

The last known duke before Felix was Boggis.

Therefore, in Felix's time Vasconia forms a part of Aquitaine, into which it had been incorporated following the successful suppression of a rebellion in 645.

It is disputable whether Felix was a sovereign in his own right over a state of his own creation or a Merovingian official governing a constituent kingdom of the Frankish realm.

It is also argued that the Basques were the allies of the Aquitainians and not their subjects.Felix's duchy encompasses Bordeaux, Vasconia (the Novempopulania and its poorly defined borderlands to the south and northeast) and Narbonensis (including Toulouse), but does not extend to the districts along the Mediterranean coast, which remain under the control of the Visigoths, or to the Loire, as it will in later ages.
