King Clovis I and Queen Clotilde of the Franks, late 5th - early 6th century (1882-1884). Clovis I (c466-511) converted to Christianity and was baptized at Rheims in 496 AD. His wife, the Burgundian princess Clotilde, is thought to have been responsible for persuading him to embrace Christianity. Clovis was the first Christian King of the Franks and the first to unite the Frankish tribes into one kingdom.
