Описание: Around AD 500. Clovis I., King of all Franks, in the midst of his military chiefs, who formed his Treuste, or armed Court, dictates the Salic Law (Law of the salic people). Clovis (Latin: Chlodovechus; reconstructed Frankish: *Hlodowig;[1] c. 466 – November 27, 511)[2] was the first king of the Franks to unite all of the Frankish tribes under one ruler, changing the form of leadership from a group of royal chieftains to rule by a single king and ensuring that the kingship was passed down to his heirs.[3] He is considered to have been the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom for the next two centuries. Clovis was the son of Childeric I, a Merovingian king of the Salian Franks, and Basina, a Thuringian princess. In 481, at the age of fifteen,[4] Clovis succeeded his father. In what is now northern France, then northern Gaul, he took control of a rump state of the Western Roman Empire controlled by Syagrius at the Battle of Soissons (486), and by the time of his death in 511 he had also conquered smaller Frankish kingdoms towards the northeast, the Alemanni to the east, and Visigothic kingdom of Aquitania to the south.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis).
