Clovis married the beautiful St. Clotilda, who worked to convert him. Their first child died, and they nearly lost their second. Clovis might have assumed a powerful God would do better than that. Clovis was facing defeat (496-497) against the Alemanni, another Germanic tribe, and promised the Christian God, if he won, he would convert and be baptized. He was baptized with three thousand of his troops in Rheims, France, by Bishop Remigius.

Clovis prayed to the Christian god to help him win a battle. When the battle was over and he had won, he and his 3,000 soldiers all went to be baptized. The Church in Rome welcomed this conversion and supported his military campaigns giving him revenue to support them.
