Queen Clotilda, c1100, (1843). Engraving after a sculpture at the church of Notre Dame de Corbeil, France. The Bourguignon princess Clotilda (later canonized as St Clotilda), was the wife of the Frankish king, Clovis I. Clotilda was almost certainly behind Clovis's conversion to Christianity, and he was baptised in 496 AD. Illustration from Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries, by Henry Shaw, (London, 1843).
