===Under the Visigoths===
{{main|Septimania#Kingdom of Narbonne|}}

According to [[Hydatius]], in 462 the city was handed over to the Visigoths by a local military leader in exchange for support; as a result Roman rule ended in the city. It was subsequently the capital of the [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] province of [[Septimania]], the only territory from Gaul to fend off the [[Franks|Frankish]] thrust after the [[Battle of Vouille]] (507). In 531, Frankish king, [[Childebert I]], invaded Septimania and defeated Visigothic king, [[Amalaric]] near Narbonne and occupied the city. However, after Childebert's continued invasion to Catalonia failed, Amalaric's successor [[Theudis]] was able to reclaim the rich province of Septimania, including Narbonne.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Burke |first1=Ulick Ralph |title=A History of Spain from the Earliest Times to the Death of Ferdinand the Catholic |date=1895 |publisher=Longmans, Green and Company |page=65 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jRJOYDXCTOYC |access-date=27 July 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Following the loss of Toledo and Barcelona in 711/712, the last two kings of the Visigoths, [[Agila II]] and [[Ardo]] retreated to Narbonne, where they were able to resist Muslim attacks until 716.
