Talk:Chlodion

I removed the following sentence from the article:
 * Legendaryly he should be born as the gain of the violence of his mother by a monster.

I can't find anything about this; it seems that this legend is associated with Merovech, Chlodio's son. Can anyone confirm either legend? (I mean the existence, not the truth of the legend :)

And by the way, according to Brittannica, he's usually called Chlodio in English and Chlodion in French. A Google search seems to confirm this (English: chlodio 110 hits, chlodion 55 hits; French: chlodio: 97 hits, chlodion 190 hits). Move? Eugene van der Pijll 18:21, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * Given all that, I think a move would be in order, yes. - Hephaestos 05:44, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hi everyone, just a random user (fairly new to Wikipedia) here. I am very interested in the Frankish Kings and would like to discuss the birth and death dates of Chlodio (said to be one of the first, and supposedly the grandfather of Childeric whom we have concrete evidence on his existence). Most sources say his birth date was 392/395,and his death is said by the source on the page on this said kingdom be after 450. However, by 451 we do know that the battle of Chalons took place and by then Merovech was in power (he was mentioned as one of the Kings who fought Atila). Would it be ok if I mention that he died around early 451 aged circa 59 (if we take 392 as his birth date)

Thanks
