General Notes:
(Meroveus in Latin). Frankish ruler, the father of Childeric I (who died c.481) and grandfather of Clovis I. Little is known of his life except that the Merovingian dynasty is traditionally held to have taken its name from him. Clovis's dynasty, the Merovingian, named after its founder, Merovech or Merowig (reigned 448-456), ruled until 751. According to Frankish custom all the king's possessions, including the royal title, were divided among his sons. Because of this practice, Merovingian France was beset by continual disunity and civil war in the 6th century.
Noted events in his life were:
• Acceded: 448. King of the Salian Franks
