By the time Romulus Augustus (this was his actual name, Augustulus was a
nickname) the western part of the Roman Empire had already lost all of its land outside Italy (Holland south of the river Rhine, Belgium, Germany west of the Rhine, Switzerland, Austria, most of France, Spain, Portugal and north-western Africa) apart form an area of northern France (the Domain of Soissons).
Romulus Augustus was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic commander of the Roman army. Odoacer led a rebellion of Germanic soldiers allied to the Romans who were stationed in Italy. They were disgruntled because they were refused land grants to settle in Italy. Odoacer became the king of Italy. He claimed to be a representative of the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, but was actually the ruler of Italy.
Soon after Odoacer seized power in 476, the Domain of Soissons broke all ties with Italy. In 486 the Domain of Soissons was conquered by the Franks. In 488 Zeno, the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire sent Theodoric the Great, the king of the Ostrogoths, to invade Italy and depose Odoacer. Theodoric established the Ostrogothic Kingdom, which covered Italy, south-western France, Austria, western Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and part of Serbia.
