Clovisโs wife, Clotilde, was a Christian, and she wanted Clovis to share her faith. โค
๏ธ One day, during a fierce battle against the Alemanni, Clovis prayed to the Christian God for help. After he won the battle, he decided to convert to Christianity! This huge decision happened around 496 AD. Clovis was baptized by Saint Remigius, a bishop in Reims, and about 3,000 of his soldiers chose to be baptized too! ๐ฆ
This was really important because it marked the beginning of Christianity
becoming the main religion in France. Clovisโs conversion strengthened his rule and united his people. โ
