Clovis I (466-511), koning der Franken te Doornik (481-511), zoon van Childeric, hoofdman van de Salische Franken en van Basina van Thüringen, trouwde Clotilde

 

Hij versloeg in 496 de Alemannen bij Zülpich, bekeerde zich daarna tot het Christendom en werd volgens de overlevering gedoopt in Reims. Versloeg in het voorjaar van 507 de Visigothen bij Vouillé en bracht daarmee vrijwel geheel Gallië onder zijn gezag. Derhalve kan hij waarschijnlijk met recht de stichter van Frankrijk, of althans van de Franse staat, genoemd worden.

Gregorius van Tours schrijft over de bekering van Clovis (II, 30): "Queen Clotild [Clovis' vrouw, die Katholiek was] continued to pray that her husband might recognize the true God and give up his idol-worship. Nothing could persuade him to accept Christianity. Finally war broke out against the Alamanni and in this conflict he was forced by necessity to accept what he refused of his own free will. It so turned out that when the two armies met on the battlefield there was great slaughter and the troops of Clovis were rapidly being annihilated. He raised his eyes to heaven when he saw this, felt compunction in his heart and was moved to tears. "Jesus Christ", he said, ÿou who Clotild maintains to be the Son of the living God, you who deign to give help to those in travail and victoryto those who trust in you, in faith I beg the glory of your help. If you will give me victory over my enemies, and if I may have evidence of that miraculous power which the people dedicated to your name say that they have experienced, then I will believe in you and I will be baptized in your name ..." Even as he said this the Alamanni turned their backs and began to run away. As soon as they saw that their King was killed, they submitted to Clovis. ... This happened in the fifteenth year of his reign [496]." (Gregory of Tours, History of the Franks [Harmondsworth 1974), p. 143.)

 

Clovis werd gedoopt in Rheims door de bisschop van die stad, Sint Remigius: "King Clovis asked that he might be baptized first by the Bishop. Like some new Constantine he stepped forward to the baptismal pool, ready to wash away the sores of his old leprosy and to be cleansed in flowing water from the sordid stains which he had borne so long. As he advanced for his baptism, the holy man of God addressed him in these pregnant words: "Bow your head in meekness, Sicamber. Worship what you have burnt, burn what you have been wont to worship." ... King Clovis confessed his belief in God Almighty, three in one. He was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and marked in holy chrism with the sign of the Cross of Christ. More than three thousand of his army were baptized at the same time. His sister Albofled was baptized, but she soon after died and was gathered to the Lord. " (Gregory of Tours, o.c. [II, 31], p. 143-144.)
