Clovis was the first King of the Franks to
unite all the Frankish tribes under one ruler.
He was also the first Catholic King to rule
over Gaul. Clovis was converted to
Catholicism, as opposed to the Arian
Christianity common among the Goths who
ruled most of Gaul at the time, at the
instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a
Burgundian Gothic princess who was a
Catholic in spite of the Arianism which
surrounded her at court. He was baptized
in a small church which was on or near the
site of the Cathedral of Reims. This act was
of immense importance in the subsequent
history of Western and Central Europe in
general. He is considered the founder of
the Merovingian dynasty which ruled the
Franks for the next two centuries.
