Battle of Narbonne (436)

The Siege of Narbonne was a conflict between the Visigothic Foederati of Aquitania and the Western Roman Empire. The Siege began in late 436 and carried over into 437, when the Roman General Litorius arrived with a force of Huns and the Gallic Field Army.^[1] Litorius surprised the Visigoths and routed their army before they could draw up a coherent battle line.^[2] Prosper of Aquitaine records that to alleviate the starvation of the city, Litorius' army was ordered to carry 2 measures of wheat for the citizens of Narbona.^[3]
