Founder of the Merovingian dynasty of Frankish Kings. He was the firstFrank chief to make his home in Gaul, or who wore a purple robe and acrown like a Roman Emperor. He made his principal home at Paris. It washe who expanded the Frankish kingdoms by his successful prolongedcampaigns against the Thuringians, Alamans, Burgundians, and Visigoths.Noteworthy to us is the fact that his adversary as king of the Visigoths,ALARIC II , is also our ancestor. He also consolidated his power bykilling several rival Frankish kings, some of whom were his ownrelatives. He also had SIGEBERT THE LAME, KING OF THE RIPUARIAN FRANKSmurdered by his own son CLODERIC. Clovis then had CLODERIC executed forthe parricide and claimed sovereignty over his kingdom (that of theRipuarian Franks) as well. Through the influence of his wife, CLOTILDA,he was converted to Christianity. As was the custom in ancient times, theentire tribe followed his example. He had four sons between whom hisdomains were divided when he died. The last surviving son, CLOTHAR,consolidated the Frankish domains under his sole authority.
