biographical and/or anecdotal:
*Clovis I (Chlodwig), also known by some historians as Louis and Lodowig, born 467, died 511, the first king of all the Franks, the founder of the empire of Franks, ruling from 482 to 511, son of Childeric I., chief of the Salian Franks, whom he succeeded in 481 at the age of 15. His capital was at Rheims and later at Paris. He had the Salic law drawn up about the year 500. At the death of Clovis I. the empire was divided into four parts, which were held by his sons
In 493 *Clovis married *Clothilde (Clotilda) of Burgundy (afterwards St. Clothilde), born 475, died at Tours in 545, "the girl of the French Vineyards". She was the daughter of Gondebaud (Chilperic II.?), King of Burgundy. She was Arian by religion, but with strong Roman Catholic tendencies. This marriage was of primary importance, as the real shape of France dated from it. It was she who led her husband to abandon his old beliefs and embrace Christianity. He was baptized in the 15th year of his reign at Rheims on Christmas Day in 496, with 3,000 of his followers. When Clovis first heard the story of Christ's crucifixion, he was so moved that he cried, "If I had been there with my valiant Franks, I would have avenged Him." Henceforth the Church played a decisive role in the history of the kings of France.
