king of the Salian See also:Franks, succeeded his See also:father Merwich (Merwing) as king about. 459. With his tribe he was established around the See also:town of See also:Tournai, on lands which he had received as a foederalus of the See also:Romans, and for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time he kept the See also:peace with his See also:allies. About 463, in See also:conjunction with the See also:Roman See also:general Egidius, he fought against the Visigoths, who hoped to extend their dominion along the See also:banks of the See also:Loire; after the See also:death of Egidius he assisted See also:Count See also:Paul in attempting to check an invasion of the See also:Saxons. Paul having perished in the struggle, Childeric delivered See also:Angers from some Saxons, followed them to the islands at the mouth of the Loire, and massacred them there. He also stopped a See also:band of the See also:Alamanni who wished to invade See also:Italy. These are all the facts known about him. The stories of his See also:expulsion by the Franks; of his stay of eight years in Thuringia with King See also:Basin and his wife Basine; of his return when a faithful servant advised him that he could safely do so by sending to him See also:half of a piece of See also:gold which he had brokenwith him; and of the arrival at Tournai of See also:Queen Basine, whom he married, are entirely legendary. After the fall of the Western See also:Empire in 476 there is no doubt that Childeric regarded himself as freed from his engagements towards See also:Rome. He died in 481 and was buried at Tournai, leaving a son See also:Clovis (q.v.), afterwards king of the Franks. His See also:tomb was discovered in 1653, when numerous See also:precious See also:objects, arms, jewels, coins and a See also:ring with a figure of the king, were found.
