Date
The traditional date of the battle in 496 was challenged by A. van de Vyver, whose revised chronology placed the battle in 506. This was extensively debated and is followed in some modern accounts. The date of 506 also follows Gregory's chronology which places the death of Childeric around the same time as that of St. Pertpetuus, who died in 491. Hence 15 years from 491 would be 506. Coin evidence from Childeric's grave contain coins of Emperor Zeno who died in 491, but none after.
