Clovis was the fifteen year old successor to the Merovingian's family which ruled Gaul, they were Franks. He married Clotilda, the Catholic daughter of a Burgundian king in 491 or 492. Between her influence and prayers, and the Bishop of Rheims, her spiritual adviser (and a deal in which God apparently helped him in a war) he abandoned paganism and was baptised around Christmas 496.
