He was responsible for Salic Law being written in the year 500.s wife, Clothilde, introduced him to Christianity. He and 3000 followers were baptized at Rheims on Christmas Day in 496. When Clovis first heard the story of Christ's Crucifixion, history quotes him, "If I had been there with my valiant Franks, I would have avenged Him." (C-336, p. I)
