Franks:
United all the Franks. It was not done peacefully. Clovis' methods
included conquest and murder. He personally killed one Frankish king and his
brother after they had been turned over to him. See Chapter3 of "The Franks."
When he died in 511, the kingdom was divided among his four sons. In the
next 50 years, the Franks and their Merovingian dynasty extended the power and
influence of much of western Europe and became the dominant Germanic successor
kingdom to the Roman Empire.
Became a Christian and converted the Franks to Christianity.

Pfafman: Clovis (Louis) I, the Great. Sole King of Franks 511, King of Salic
Franks 481-511. Became a devout Catholic responsible for Catholicism instead of
Arianism in large portion of Western Europe. Great statesman. Conquered Central
and Southern France and Gaul, later conquered the Ripuerian Franks. His
dominions became France.First important ruler of the Merovingian dynasty. He succeeded his father, Childeric I, as king of the Salian Franks at age 15. His career focused largely on forging the Salian Franks on the northern Rhine River and the Ripuarian Franks on the lowerRhine into a single dominion. He began with a victory in 486 over Syagrius, the last Roman governor in northern Gaul. By 493, when he married the Burgundian princess Clotilda (later canonized as St. Clotilda), Clovis had defeated many petty princes whose territories had surrounded his capital at Soissons. He next came into conflict in 496 with the
confederation of Germanic tribes known asthe Alamanni, who inhabited land east of his domains. According to legend, it was only by invoking the God of his Christian wife, Clotilda , that he defeatedhis enemy. Clotilda was almost certainly instrumental in Clovis's conversion to Christianity, and he was
baptized in 496. He became the champion of orthodox Christians in every part of Gaul and was supported effectively by the church in all his campaigns. He continued to fight the Alamanni, who were completely conquered by 506; the next year the Visigoths were decisively defeated when their king, Alaric II, was killed by Clovis in a battle near Poitiers. Clovis made Paris the capital of the Frankish kingdom, which at that time included most of present-day France and southwestern Germany.
