Notizen zu dieser Person
Clodio Clodio1 (c. 395 - 447 or 449) or, the Long-Haired or the Hairy, wasthe semi-legendary first Salian Frankish king of the Merovingiandynasty (426 - 447). His successor was Meroveus, who founded thatdynasty. Legend has it that his father was duke Pharamond and hismother was Argotta, from Thuringia. His grandfather may have beenMarcomer, a duke of the Franks. There are basically only two sources of information for Clodio'shistory: the writings of Gregory of Tours and Sidonius Apollinaris. Clodio lived in Dispargum, a name that is believed to be that of acastle, rather than a village. Around 431, he invaded the territory ofArtois, but was defeated near Hesdin by Aetius, the commander of theRoman army in Gaul. However, Clodio regrouped and soon was able toseize the town Cameracum. Eventually, he occupied all the country asfar as the Somme River and making Tournai the capital of the SalianFranks. Clodio's aggressive action to seize more territory led to centuries ofexpansion by his successors that ultimately created what we know todayas the country of France. Clodio died sometime between 447 and 449 andpower passed on to Meroveus. It is not known if Meroveus was his sonor another chieftain of the tribe who ascended into the leadershiprole.
