Charlemagne!
Well, he was the first king of France to become Catholic.
The Franks were connected to the Catholic Church through their conversion to Christianity under King Clovis I in the 5th century. This alliance between the Franks and the Church helped solidify their power and influence in Europe.
The Franks converted to Catholicism primarily due to the influence of their king, Clovis I, who converted to Christianity in 496 AD. This conversion helped solidify alliances with neighboring Christian kingdoms and also gave the Franks a sense of religious unity within their growing territory. Additionally, adopting Christianity provided Clovis and the Franks with legitimacy and support from the powerful Christian church.
