Clovis was the king of a major branch of the Franks, the Salian Franks. At the time the Franks were divided into several kingdoms. Clovis had a Frankish king, Chararic, executed and killed another one, Ragnachar. He conquered all the Frankish territories except for that of another major branch, the Ripuarian Franks of central Germany. He then conquered Cologne and became the king of all Franks. Therefore, he united all the Franks under his rule. He then conquered the remaining Roman territory in Gaul and pushed the Visigoths out of south-western Gaul. Therefore, he gained control of most of Gaul, except from Brittany, Provence, and Brittany, establishing the franks as the most powerful people in Western Europe.

Clovis died in 511, that is, 289 year before the creation of the Carolingian Empire and was a king of a different dynasty, the Merovingians. The Carolingian Empire was created by the Carolingian dynasty.
