Baptism of Clovis I |

|
||||||
| Clovis I was king of the Franks from 481 to 511. In 496 he converted to Christianity, which gained him the support of the Roman Catholic Church for his conquests of other tribes in western and central Europe. During his rule Clovis enlarged the Frankish territory to include most of modern France and Germany. | ||||||
