    Notes:

    Clovis I king of the Franks, became the first powerful ruler of the Merovingian
    dynasty, the founders of the French state. In 481, when Clovis inherited the
    royal title, he was only one of several Frankish kings. Then, in 486, he
    defeated the last great Roman army in Gaul. In one campaign after another, he
    defeated the Alamanni, the Visigoths, and the Burgundians. By 507 he ruled
    over most of Gaul, western Germany, and the Low Countries of northwestern
    Europe.

    Clovis was the first Germanic king to become an orthodox Christian. Most
    Germanic rulers either became Arian heretics or remained pagans. By his
    conversion to Christianity, Clovis won the support of his Catholic subjects,
    including the clergy.
