The tribes that had overrun the Rhine …
Years: 409 - 409
September
The tribes that had overrun the Rhine defenses in 406 and spent the intervening years burning and plundering their way through Gaul, have reached the Pyrenees, where, led by king Gunderic, they break through Constantine's garrisons and enter Hispania in September 409.
While Constantine prepares to send his son Constans back to deal with this crisis, word comes that his general Gerontius has rebelled, raising his own man as co-emperor.
