On Clodios death the demi-monster succeeded to the throne, and from him sprang a long line of sovereigns, worthless and imbecile for the most part. Childeric, the son and successor of Merovig, enraged his people to such a degree by his excesses that they drove him from throne and country.
The race of the Carolingians, whose greatest monarch was the famous Charlemagne, or Karl der Grosse, sprang from a family of usurpers known as the Mayors of the Palace, who had snatched the crown from the rois fainéants, the last weakly shoots of the mighty line of Merovig.
In time she gave birth to a child, more monster than man, the spine being covered with bristles, fingers and toes webbed, eyes covered with a film, and thighs and legs horny with large shining scales. Clodio, though aware of the real paternity of this creature, adopted it as his own son, as did King Minos in the case of the Minotaur, giving him the name Merovig from his piscatory origin.
Merovig, from whom the race derived its name, was said to be the son of Clodio, but legend relates far otherwise. In name and origin he was literally a child of the Rhine, his father being a water-monster who seized the wife of Clodio while bathing in that river.
