| Map of Gaul at the Death of Clovis in 511 C.E.: In 511 C.E., following the death of Clovis, Gaul was divided among his four sons, leading to the fragmentation of the Frankish kingdom. This division resulted in the creation of distinct territories ruled by Theuderic I, Chlodomer, Childebert I, and Clotaire I. Despite being separate kingdoms, these regions maintained connections through shared Frankish culture and laws. The political landscape was marked by both cooperation and rivalry among the brothers, setting the stage for future power struggles. Clovis's legacy persisted, as his conversion to Christianity strengthened the alliance between the Frankish rulers and the Roman Catholic Church. |
