How did Clovis further Christianity in lands he conquered?
Clovis furthered Catholicism more than Christianity as such. Arian Christians were the overwhelming majority of Christians in Gaul. The Catholics were a small minority. The wife of Clovis was a Catholic and tried to convert him from his paganism to Catholicism, but he resisted. It is thought that in the end he converted to distinguish himself from the other Germanic kings who were Arians. The Burgundians of eastern Gaul, the Visigoths of south-western Gaul, Spain and Portugal and the Vandals of north-western Africa were Arians. Only the Alemanni of southern Germany were pagans, even though it seems that the influence of Arianism did reached them. With Clovis expanding into southern Germany and into southern France, the influence of Catholicism soon spread to these areas.
