Who was the first Catholic King of the Franks?
Clovis was a precocious fifteen year-old who became king of the Salian Franks in 482. He married the daughter of a Burgundian king, whose name was Clotilda, who was a Christian in 491 or 491. Like Constantine at the Battle of the milvian Bridge, Clovis had a particularly difficult battle with an enemy tribe, and he prayed to "Clotilda's God" for Victory. He promised to be baptized if he was victorious, he was and in A.D. 496 (or thereabouts) he was baptized by Bishop Remigius. During the crush of the ceremony it was discovered that there was no Sacred Chrism to anoint the king during baptism. St. Remigius looke dup to heaven to see a dove descending with a vial of Sacred Chrism in his beak. He anointed the king with this and it was used afterward in the coronation of the kings of France for the next milleniuum. The vial was destroyed, deliberately, during the French revolution, although a few precious drops were recovered to anoint Charles X in 1824. The conversion of the Franks, a result of Clovis' baptism gave birth to the Catholic kingdom of France, and was of enormous importance for the development of a Catholic Europe. extracted from Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know by Diane Moczar, c 2005 by Diane Moczar, Sophia Institute Press, Manchester, NH 03108
