Chlodio (400-448)

"Chlodio (d. approx. 450) also Clodio, Clodius, Clodion, Cloio or Chlogio, was a Frankish king who attacked, and apparently then held, Roman-inhabited lands and cities in the Silva Carbonaria forest, now in central Belgium, then Cambrai and Tournai, and reached as far south as the River Somme.

Modern historians believe he was a descendant of the earlier Salian Franks, reported by Roman sources in the 4th century.

He is known from very few records, but Gregory of Tours reported that in his time people believed he was also an ancestor of the Merovingian dynasty." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.10.2020)
