Clotilda was the younger daughter of King Chilperic II of the Burgundians. On her father's murder by her uncles, she and her sister Chroma escaped Burgundy. Clotilda married Clovis, King of the Franks, in 493 and had with him five children. She was the person primarily responsible for Clovis' conversion to Christianity, and, therefore, the conversion of all of France. At Clovis' death in 511, Clotilda went into a monastery at Tours where she stayed until her death in 545. She was canonized a few years after her death, and her traditional feast day is June 3.
