Summary:

Clovis was elected a teenage war leader of a small tribe in the midst of three seismic shifts that were transforming the western Roman Empire. Civic authority had transferred from Rome to Constantinople, resulting in a collapse of familiar political structures throughout Gaul. The region also experienced the rise of the Catholic Church as an institution. At the same time, Germanic tribes were in the process of migrating from the east. In response to this upheaval, powerful men competed to wrest control of the territory. How is it that Clovis eventually came to dominate what we know today as the kingdom of France, a successor state that survived for over a thousand years? This case describes the liminal conditions that an opportunistic leader exploited by crafting a hybrid culture, borrowing from many competing sources to unify a nation.
