On his father's death (511) he and his brothers received equal shares of

brother Childebert I divided the kingdom of their deceased brother
Clodomir, whose children they murdered.
With his brother Theodoric he conquered Thuringia. In 534 Clotaire and
Childebert seized and divided the First Kingdom of Burgundy, and in 542
they attacked the Visigoths of Spain but were repulsed before Zaragoza.
The deaths of Theodebald, Theodoric's grandson (555), and of Childebert
(558) made Clotaire sole king of the Franks.
His sons Chilperic I and Sigebert I inherited Neustria and Austrasia
respectively; his sons Charibert and Guntram divided the remainder of t
kingdom.
