 Clotilde, notes Levillain, was evidently a very important woman.It is supposed that she was in some way related to the Merovingian kings, but the exact relation is uncertain.Her name and its variants, male and female, are common ones among the Merovingians, perhaps due to the memory of Clotilde wife of Clovis I. Clovis and Clotilde had a daughter of the same name.
