Childeric I

Frankish king

b. c. 436 · d. c. 481

Childeric I was a 5th-century Frankish ruler in what is now northern France, during the period when this part of Roman Gaul became permanently disconnected from the central Roman government, and the last emperor based in Italy was dethroned. He is the ancestor of the early medieval Merovingian dynasty, and father of Clovis I, who would go on to acquire effective control over all or most of the small Frankish kingdoms of the time, and unite a significant part of Gaul under Frankish rule.
