Clotilde was a 5th and 6th-century queen of the Franks and the wife of Clovis I. Born in Lyon to the Burgundian royal family, she played a significant role in the religious transformation of her husband's kingdom by encouraging his conversion to Catholicism. Following the death of her husband, she transitioned from political life to a more contemplative existence, dedicating herself to prayer and charity. She is honored as a saint in several Christian traditions, including Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican.
