According to the history recorded in the sixth century C.E. by Gregory of Tours, it was in 496 C.E., during the battle of Tolbiac (Zülpich, Germany) against the tribe of the Alemanni, that Clovis promised to abandon paganism if Clotilda’s God would grant him victory.
Menurut sejarah yang dicatat pada abad keenam M oleh Gregory dari Tours, selama pertempuran Tolbiac (Zülpich, Jerman) melawan suku Alemanni pada tahun 496 M, Clovis berjanji akan meninggalkan kekafiran jika Allahnya Clotilda mengaruniai dia kemenangan.
