The remaining forces in Spain, further reduced…

October 409 CE

The remaining forces in Spain, further reduced by the removal of soldiers to fight in the civil war that follows the attempt by Constantine to seize power from Honorius, are unable to provide much resistance to the Vandals, Alans, Suevi, and Buri, who sweep across the Pyrenees in late 409.

Constantine's magister militum, Gerontius, is able to restore control over the situation in Spain, obtaining for the invading Vandals, Alans, and Suebi imperial permission to settle there, but now revolts against Constantine.

Constantine's control of Britain and Spain is thus lost.
