Clovis I

in Latin Chlodovechus, born around 466 and died in Paris on 27 November 511, is king of the Salian Francs, then king of all Francs from 481 to 511. From the Merovingian dynasty, he was the son of Childeric I, king of the Salian Franks of Tournai (in present-day Belgium), and the Basine queen of Thuringia.
Military leader, Clovis considerably increased the territory of the small kingdom of the Salian Franks, which he inherits upon the death of his father. He eventually unified a large part of the Frankish kingdoms, drove out the Alemanni and the Burgundians, and annexed the territories of the Visigoths in southern Gaul. The reign of Clovis is one of the least well-documented of the Merovingian dynasty, and its sources are based on rare documents that are contemporary to him, about ten allusive letters, one of which is attributed to him, less than fifteen lines long. The bulk of what is known about Clovis comes from the account written at the end of the 6th century by the bishop Grégoire de Tours, born almost thirty years after the death of the Frankish king.

The battle of Vouillé

which took place in spring 507, opposed the army of the Visigoths and Auvernais to the south, against that of the Franks to the north. under the command of Clovis and his eldest son Thierry This battle saw the victory of the Franks, the Visigoths losing their king Alaric II in combat. They were forced to abandon to their victors a very vast territory between the Loire and the Pyrenees, in what is now the South of France .
