Narrative

# Note:

Clodion, the first king of this dynasty known to history, began his series of conquests in Northern Gaul about the year 430. He penetrated as far as Artois, but was driven back by Aetius, who seems to have succeeded in keeping him on friendly terms with Rome. In fact, it seems that his son Merovaeus fought with the Romans against Attila on the Mauriac plains.

        Note:
        Kinsman of Clovis IThere seems to be a major disagreement between the sources I have available as to who the parents of Clodius are:
        Theodosius Magnus I and Valentina Justina
        Pharamond and Argotta

        I have connected with both sets of parents until I am able to determine the better source.
