The work of Theodoric, a useful work as we shall see, was serving quite another purpose than that of establishing a new Gothic kingdom. As for him and his government, they were utterly to pass away and by reason of the religion they professed. The first blow at the endurance and security of the Ostrogothic hegemony was the conversion of Clovis to Catholicism in 496.
In fact there is not a more marked peculiarity in his genius than the union with its strength of a most uncommon gentleness, and in the personal ways of the man this was equally manifest." Vol. i. p. 496.
Trans., vol. xii. p. 496. This case is the more strange, because it is asserted that some of the same species in their winter- quarters in the United States are tame.

A second son, however, recovered from grievous sickness at his wife's prayers, and this, aided perhaps by a shrewd insight into the trend of events, induced him to lend a more willing ear to the teachers of the new Faith. In 496 the Franks were at death grapple with their German foes at Tolbiac.
