Paulus (500–500)

Born 500 CE, died 500 CE.

Count Paul was a Roman military leader who, with Roman and Frankish forces, attacked and looted Visigothic forces in about 470, probably somewhere in the region of Bourges, after the Battle of Déols. He apparently died soon afterwards within the same series of battles, probably in or near Angers. The evidence is unclear about whether Paul was on the same side as Childeric the Frankish king, but it is likely.
