Notes

Clovis also called Louis was the first King of all the Franks. He succeeded his father in 481 at age 15. His capitol started out at Rheims and later he moved it to Paris. He was responsible for Salic Law being written in the year 500. His 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)
