Note	Notes He is named among the combatants who faught in the Roman imperial army atMauriac, which stopped the progress of Attila the Hun in Gaul. "Colonial & Revolutionary Lineages in America" lists him as the son ofChlodion. "The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" agrees. Other sources claimthat his parentage is unknown. Edward James in his book "The Franks"mentions that the ancient historian, Gregory of Tours wrote that "somepeople say" that Merovech was a descendant of Chlodion.

"Gregory of Tours says (Bk II, 9) "Some say that Meroveus father ofChilderic descends from Clodio". There is an expression of doubt hereimplied by Gregory. Most genealogists however have ignored this and madeClodio father of Meroveus. Isn't there a more interesting account in themuch later Liber Hist. Francorum (or is it Fredegar?), which saysMeroveus was conceived after his mum went swimming in the Channel andencountered a sea serpent?
