Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Queens of France, Vol. 1 of 2 Clovis was the first chief who bore the title of King of France; for although several of his pre decessors had acquired great advantage in their attacks upon the Romans, hitherto they had ulti mately been repulsed with such vigour that they were frequently obliged to re-cross the Rhine; and Clovis was the first who resided as sole conqueror in France. The trifling importance attached to the greater number of the first race of kings, the similarity of their names, and, above all, the continual division of their states, inevitably introduced a degree of confusion into their history. Prior to the entire subjugation of Gaul by the Franks under Clovis, four French chiefs had succes sively reigned over a part of the country as kings; but very little is known of them, France having been at that time shrouded in the mist of barbarism.
