Roman Empire

In 476 CE, the German warrior Odoacer led a revolt against the Western Roman master of soldiers, Orestes, after Orestes failed to fulfill a promise to grant land in Italy to Odoacerā€™s tribal followers.12

On August 23, 476, Odoacer was proclaimed king by his troops. Five days later, his forces captured and executed Orestes in Placentia. Following this victory, Odoacer deposed Orestesā€™ son, the child emperor Romulus Augustulus. Unlike his father, Romulus Augustulus was spared due to his youth; Odoacer provided him with a pension and sent him to live with relatives in Campania.123

This event is traditionally recognized as the end of the Western Roman Empire, as Odoacer chose to rule Italy as a king while maintaining only nominal recognition of the Eastern emperorā€™s authority in Constantinople.13
