France, Eldest Daughter of the Church

At the moment when his soldiers were going to succumb under the blows of enemy forces, Clovis, King of the Franks, turning his regards toward heaven cried out: “Lord, the God that Clotilda (his wife) adores, I implore Your protection. If you give me the victory, I will believe in You and will have myself baptized.”

God granted this supplication. Clovis kept his promise. He became the first barbarian king who converted to Catholicism. Three Thousand soldiers converted with him.
