Clovis
Clovis was the name of four kings of the Franks. The most important of the kings of this name was probably Clovis I (reigned 481-511), who was the first king to unite all the Frankish tribes into a single kingdom; in the course of doing this, he ended the last vestige of the Roman Empire in Gaul. He also converted to Christianity, and established Paris as his capital.
Clovis, the first king of the Franks, converted to Christianity in 496, bringing Christianity to the Frankish kingdom. This conversion had a ripple effect, as his successors continued to promote Christianity, gradually spreading it throughout the realm. Charlemagne, as the King of the Franks and later the Emperor of the Carolingian Empire, actively promoted Christianity through various means, such as supporting missionary work, promoting education in monasteries, and enforcing Christian laws. His efforts played a significant role in the spread and consolidation of Christianity in Western Europe.
The Franks. The Frankish leader at the time, Clovis, was convinced by his wife, Clotilda, to convert to Christianity. By becoming the first of the Barbarian tribes to accept Christianity, Clovis led the Franks to defend the Christian Church in the West.
Clovis' wife, Clotilde, was Catholic. She converted Clovis to Catholicism from Arianism (which has nothing to do with Aryanism). Arianism was a branch of Christianity that differed from Catholicism in its views of the Trinity and the nature of Jesus.
Clovis united the Franks into a single kingdom in the 480's. He was the first Germanic king to accept Christianity, which gave him the support of the Pope and other church leaders, which was a mutually beneficial relationship.
Clovis is said to have been converted by his wife, Clotilde, who was Catholic. He is also said to have converted in thanks for having won the battle of Tolbiac. Of course, it is possible that both are true.
