Chlodoveus I, rex Francorum, vir inluster was first thought of converting to Christianity circa 496. Facing defeat while fighting the Alemanni of the middle Rhine, Clovis sought to invoke the god of his wife to aid him. This seemed to provide him a victory. He was is finally converted to Christianity in December 499. It took the combined efforts of his wife and the Bishop Remigius of Reims to convince him. In Reims, he, and several of his warriors, are baptised. "Gregory of Tours, in his ecclesiastical history of the Franks has described this event, which took place amid great pomp at Christmas, 496 (499-rbs). "Bow thy head, O Sicambrian", said St. Remigius to the royal convert "Adore what thou hast burned and burn what thou hast adored." According to a ninth-century legend found in the life of St. Remigius, written by the celebrated Hinemar himself Archbishop of Reims, the chrism for the baptismal ceremony was missing and was brought from heaven in a vase (ampulla) borne by a dove. This is what is known as the Sainte Ampoule of Reims, preserved in the treasury of the cathedral of that city and used for the coronation of the kings of France from Philip Augustus down to Charles X."⁷ He was involved in a dispute between the Burgundian Kings Gundobad and Godegisil in 500. Godegisil betrays his own brother to Clovis. The sister of the Burgundians, and Clovis' wife, intercedes and though victorious Clovis does not take the advantage, and afterwards makes an alliance with Gundobad. He helped Godegisel to defeat Gondebad at Dijon in 500 at Dijon. Afterwards, deeming it prudent to interfere no further in this fratricidal struggle, he returned home, leaving Godegisil an auxiliary corps of five thousand Franks.⁷ He undertook an important and profitable expedition against the Visigoth King, Alaric II, whom he killed circa 507 at Vouille, near Poitiers.⁷ He witnessed the death of Alaricus II, rex Gotthorum in 507 at Vouillé, Gaul; Killed in battle against Clovis I of the Franks and Gundobad of the Burgundians. He was a weak ruler, and his Arianism provided the excuse for war against him. Chlodoveus I, rex Francorum, vir inluster took possession of the Visigoth Kingdom as far as the Pyrenees and the Rhone River after 507. The part situated on the left bank of the Rhone was stoutly defended by the armies of Theodoric the Ostrogoth, and thus the Franks were prevented from seizing Arles and Provence. Notwithstanding this last failure, Clovis, by his conquest of Aquitaine, added to the Frankish crown the fairest of its jewels.⁷ He was granted the insignia of the consular dignity, an honour always highly appreciated by the barbarians, by Emperor Anastasius for his success against the Arian Visigoths circa 508. He witnessed the death of Sigibert "le Boiteux", King of Cologne in 509; Legend says that he was murdered by his son, Cloderic, at the instigation of Clovis I, King of the Salic Franks. Chlodoveus I, rex Francorum, vir inluster annexed the Rhenish (Ripuarian Frank) Kingdom of Cologne, and succeeded Siegbert and Cloderic partly by right of birth, partly by popular choice, in 509.

This final victory crowned Clovis' acquisition of all of Gaul.⁷ 1st King of all Franks at Frankish Kingdoms between 509 and 511.⁵ He witnessed the death of Chloderic "the Parricide", King of Cologne in 509; Legend says he was murdered by agents of his kinsman, Clovis I, King of the Salic Franks.

He started from small beginnings and was eventually accepted as a ruler by the Gallo-Romans. With Imperial approval he made the first attacks against the Arian-Gothic confederation of western europe. He decided for his people to turn to Catholicism, not Arianism. He also made one people of the Franks of the Belgium and Rhine regions. Chlodoveus I, rex Francorum, vir inluster was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles (later of Sainte-Geneviève), Mons Lucotetius, to the south of Paris. He was buried in the church which he himself had built together with his queen Clotilda.
