Everything about Genobaud totally explained
Genobaud was a leader (dux) of the
Franks. He invaded the
Roman Empire in the year
388.
This invasion is documented by
Gregory of Tours, who cited the now lost work of
Sulpicius Alexander. According to this account Genobaud invaded the Roman provinces Germania and Belgia together with
Marcomer and
Sunno. They broke through the
limes, killed many people, destroyed the most fruitful lands and made the city of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, now
Cologne panic. After this raid the main body of the Franks moved back over the Rhine with their booty. Some of the Franks remained in the Belgian woods. When the Roman generals Nanninus and Quintinus heard the news in
Trier, they attacked those remaining Frankish forces and killed many of them. After this engagement Quintinus crossed the Rhine to punish the Franks in their own country, however his army was surrounded and beaten. Some Roman soldiers drowned in the marshes, others were killed by Franks, few made it back to their Empire.
