    Notes:

    King of the Franks.
    Chlodio (probably died after 450), also Clodio, Clodius, Clodion, Cloio or Chlogio, was a Frankish king who attacked and then apparently ruled Roman-inhabited lands around Cambrai and Tournai, near the modern border of Belgium and France. He is known from very few records.

    His influence probably reached as far south as the River Somme. He was therefore the first Frankish ruler to become established so deep within the Roman empire, and distant from the border regions where the Franks had already been established for a long time. He was possibly a descendant of the Salian Franks, who Roman sources report to have settled within Texandria in the 4th century.

    Chlodio married Siegse (Argotta) (Princess ("Basina") Of The Thuringians) THURINGIANS in 412 in France. Siegse (daughter of King Pharamond of The West Franks, Of France and Argotta (Rosamunde) (Queen Of The Franks)) was born in 398 in Thuringia, Germany; died in 455. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Merovech governed the Salic Franks, defeated "Attila the Hun" (in 451),and was son or son-in-law of Clodion. Before 430, the Salic Francstraverse the Escaut, and settle north of Gand [Gant] and also intoCourtrai. Their chief, Clodion, takes Cambrai in 430. When Clodion diedin 448, Merovee would succeed him as chief. Merovee was a FrankishPrince who ruled over the Saliennes [thus, this Merovee is King of theSalic Francs] from 452-458. He was the commander of the Francs in thegreat Battle of the Catalonic Fields, where he defeated Attila the Hun in451. It is from his name that the kings of the First Race derived theirname. The Huns had steadily increased their domination from humblebeginnings off the Caspian sea from Caucase to the Elbe, from Muldavia toHungary in the later part of the Fourth Century. During his reign, theEmpress of the Roman Empire, Galla Placidia, (in 423) governed in thename of her 4-year old son, Valentinius III. She put the Gallo-RomanAetius [who really came from Bulgaria [originally Silistria] in charge ofmaintaining the Roman authority over Gaule. Although unsuccessfulagainst the Wisigoths, Merovech pushed the Riparian Francs beyond theRhine. In 440, the Riparians would return and take over Cologne andTreves. In the meantime, the Burgundians settle in what would becomeBourgogne and in Savoie. In 443, they were camped around Worms andMayence under the command of their King, Gonthier. Merocech died in 458.

    Born before 390, son of Arcadios Claudius Claudianus and Eudoxie, Meroveeis presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time his sonChilderic I was born. Married before 405: She was a concubine.

    Before 430, the Salic Francs traverse the Escaut, and settle north ofGand [Gant] and also into Courtrai. Their chief, Clodion, takes Cambraiin 430.

    448 - Meroveus - "One of the greatest threats posed to the early RomanChurch prior to 751 was the royal Merovingian dynasty of Gaul. They weremale-line descendants of the Fisher Kings, with an ancestry tracing backto the family of Jesus and were named after their founder Meroveus, whomthe Franks had proclaimed their Guardian at Tournai in AD 448. TheMerovingians reigned by an ancient tradition of Messianic right andinheritance passed down from generations of ancestors. In keeping withthe Grail Code, they served as guardians of their people, rather thanterritorial overlords. Hence, they were styled 'Kings of the Franks', butnever Kings of France."

    Notes:

    Page 212 in "Dawn of European Civilization" has Merovingian chart. Itdiffers a little from some others; Cloderic is same as Childeric.

    From "Rulers of the World" by R. F. Tapsell: "Childeric I became thethird King of the Franks in 458. He fought with the Roman Aegidiusagainst the Wisigoths. When Aegidius died in 464, he was succeeded byCount Paul. Childeric I's army helped Count Paul push back a Saxonadvance from Angers around 466. Count Paul died in 470. They had torepeat this feat around 475, since Count Paul had died and the Saxonsonce again had attempted to expand into Angers.

    (Andre Castelot, Histoire de La France, Pages, 176, 200). Born: before 433, son of Merovee=Merovech, Prince des Francs and N?, Childeric I is presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time he succeeded his father in 448. Between 480 and 481 Childeric I's tomb in Tournai was discovered in 1653 and contained magnificent weapons. Buried: circa 481 in Tournai, Bigorre, France.

    King of the Salian Franks 456-481, Childeric succeeded his semi-legendary father Merovech as king of the Salian Franks of northern Gaul in 456, during Roman times. He became infatuated with the daughters of his subjects, who were so incensed about this that they forced him to give up the throne. He discovered that they intended to assassinate him, and he fled to Thuringia, leaving a close friend and telling him to send him amessage when Childeric could return to his kingdom.

    Childeric took refuge with Bisinus, King of the Thuringian Franks, and his wife Basina. The king elected by the Franks was cruel, and soon after Childeric was re-called to his kingdom by his friend, and was restored to the throne. Once Bisinus and Childeric were both kings, Basina deserted her husband and went to live with Childeric, who married her and had a son Clovis.

    After a battle with Odoacer, King of the Saxons (and conquerer of the Western Roman Empire, 476), at Orleans, Childeric and the Saxon king made a peace treaty and together subdued the Alamanni, who had invaded a part of Italy. In 481 Childeric died and was succeeded by Clovis, his son by Basina.

    Childeric married Basina, Princess Of Thuringia in 464 in Germany. Basina (daughter of Banin Chlodwig I (King Of Cologne) and Basina Of Saxony) was born in 444 in Thuringia, Germany; died in 489. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
