King of the Salians Franks, and father of Clovis, reigned from 458 to 481. Though a heathens, he had friendly. relations with the Catholic Church. He had the greatest reverence for St. Genevieve, and reprieved some prisoners at her instance. Ruckert has a chapter on the relations of the Frankish kings to Christianity before the conversion of Clovis. Childeric's capital was Tourlnay, and there in 1653, his tomb was discovered and opened.
