So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - Ephraim Blood Line. Clovis I (Chlodovech I) King of Franks which began in reality the kingdomand history of France. Reign 481, died 27 Nov 511. We descended through his second wife Princess Clotilda, daughter of Chilperic, King of Burgundy, and Queen Agrippina. Clotilda died in 545, was laer canonized by the Pope and became "Saint Clotilda" SUFFIX: Also shown as I. BIRTH: Also shown as Born Rheims, Marne, Loire-Altantique, France.
Clovis (Latin: Chlodovechus; reconstructed Frankish: *Hlodowig;[1] c. 466 – c. 511) was the first king of the Franks to unite all of the Frankish tribes under one ruler, changing the form of leadership from a group of royal chieftains to rule by a single king and ensuring that the kingship was passed down to his heirs.[2] He is considered to have been the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom for the next two centuries.
Clovis was the son of Childeric I, a Merovingian king of the Salian Franks, and Basina, Queen of Thuringia, and he succeeded his father in 481, at the age of fifteen.[3] He conquered the remaining rump state of the Western Roman Empire at the Battle of Soissons (486), and by his death in 511 he had conquered much of the northern and western parts of what had formerly been Roman Gaul.
Clovis is important in the historiography of France as "the first king of what would become France".[4] His name is Germanic, composed of the elements hlod ("fame") and wig ("combat"), and is the origin of the later French given name Louis, borne by 18 kings of France. Dutch, the most closely related modern language to Frankish, reborrowed the name as Lodewijk from German in the 12th century.[5]
Clovis is also extremely significant due to his conversion to Catholicism in 496, largely at the behest of his wife, Clotilde, who would later be venerated as a saint for this act. The adoption of Nicene orthodoxy (as opposed to the Arianism of some other Germanic tribes) by Clovis led to widespread conversion among the Frankish peoples, religious unification across modern-day France and Germany, and Charlemagne's alliance with the pope and the consequent birth of the early Holy Roman Empire.
