And was Paris their capital by then?
the part written in bold should suffice as awnser if you dont feel like reading the rest
awnser to first question:
Clotilda was the younger daughter of King Chilperic II of the Burgundians. On her father's murder by her uncles, she and her sister Chroma escaped Burgundy. Clotilda married Clovis, King of the Franks, in 493 and had with him five children.
She was the person primarily responsible for Clovis' conversion to Christianity, and, therefore, the conversion of all of France . At Clovis' death in 511, Clotilda went into a monastery at Tours where she stayed until her death in 545. She was canonized a few years after her death, and her traditional feast day is June 3
awnser to second question: (thoug it kind of awnser the first allso)
Clovis also called Louis was the first King of all the Franks. He succeeded his father in 481 at age 15.
His capitol started out at Rheims and later he moved it to Paris . He was responsible for Salic Law being written in the year 500.
His wife, Clothilde, introduced him to Christianity. He and 3000 followers were baptized at Rheims on Christmas Day in 496. When Clovis first heard the story of Christ's Crucifixion, history quotes him, "If I had been there with my valiant Franks, I would have avenged Him."
