Gregory of Tours’ Clovis' Conversion to Orthodox Christianity

In the history of Frank, True Gregory of Tours "Clovis" converted to orthodox Christianity Gregory of Tour is depicting Clovis as a leader. . According to the explanation of Tours' Gregory, Clovis could convert to Christianity and gain the support of Christian leaders like Saint Remiguis to gain a strong political alliance. In addition, because of his conversion, Clovis became a more attractive king for Orthodox Christians.

Conversion of Clovis to Christianity is an important decision before themselves, the nation, and Christian believers change. Because they are no longer persecuted. Through the transformation of Clovis the church grew stronger and more prosperous. A new church is being built, which in turn brings more followers and more money. His decision was also seen not only by his wife, but also by the Christian community, especially for Gregory's tour. He was able to turn a pagan society into a Christian society. Furthermore, in later times the Gaulians will only experience faith in faith, ie Christianity.

During the Clovis times, Christianity has just started to play Frank's national religion. Frank's explanation by Gregory after Death of Clovis I showed that society is a murder, incest, and that killing his son is totally acceptable. By the virtue of the great ruler, betrayal and ambush were completely eliminated. Gregory intentionally seems to refer to Christianity. Frank is now claiming to be a Christian, but they do not clearly understand the moral principles that exist with their Christian faith. An understanding of Christian faith will occur in the future.

In his book "The History of Franks" Gregory's Tour (538-594) says that Chidbert I is an interesting story, one of Clovis's sons. After the conspiracy tried to assassinate him, they did not succeed and they evacuated to the church. "Even if you know you are guilty, we will guarantee your life to you. As we are Christians, we can not kidnap church criminals to punish them "Clovis is a decisive role in shaping the history of Europe. According to Charles de Gaulle, "For me, the history of France began with Clovis and was chosen by the Frank tribe as the king of France, they named their names France" The symbol of Clovis, Fleur = De Squirrel is still one of the French symbols.
