Battle of Tolbiac,496 AD

The Battle of Tolbiac was fought between the Franks, who were fighting under Clovis I, and the Alamanni, whose leader is not known. Clovis saw his warriors being killed and felt the battle was getting out of hand. Clovis is said to have attributed his success to a vow that he had made: if he won, he would convert to the religion of the Christian God who had aided him. He became a Christian in a ceremony at Reims on Christmas 496. The traditional date of the battle of Tolbiac has been established to accord with this firmly attested baptismal date. Jean-Victor Adam, 1841 (cropped and cleaned).
