CLOVIS I. was the real founder of the French monarchy. For he was the first conqueror of the several provinces of Gaul possessed before his time by the Romans, Germans and Goths; there he united to the then scanty dominions of France, removed the seat of government from Scillon to Paris, and made this the capital of his new kingdom. He died in 511, in the 46th year of his age, and 31st of his reign. See (Hist. of ) FRANCE.
