When this was reported to the Franks, they cried out with one voice: “We renounce mortla gods, O pious king, and are ready to follow the immortal God whom Remigius preaches.” Then the Bishop imposed a fast upon them, according to the custom of the Church, and having, in the presence of the Queen St. Clotilde, completed the king’s religious instruction, he baptized him on the day of our Lord’s Nativity, addressing him in these words: “Bow down thy head in meekness, O Sicambrian; adore what thou hast hitherto burnt, burn what thou hast adored.” After the baptism, he anointed him with holy chrism with the sign of the cross of Christ. More than three thousand of the army were baptized, as also Albofleda, Clovis’ sister, who died soon after; upon which occasion Remigius wrote to console the king. His other sister, Lanthilda, was reclaimed from the Arian heresy, anointed with sacred chrism, and reconciled to the Church.
Wakati huu iliripotiwa Franks, walipiga kelele kwa sauti moja: “”Sisi kujinyima mortla miungu, Ee mfalme mcha Mungu, na wako tayari kumfuata Mungu milele ambaye Remigius anamhubiri.”” Kisha Askofu zilizowekwa haraka juu yao, kwa mujibu wa desturi ya Kanisa, na kuwa, mbele ya Malkia St Clotilde, kukamilika mfalme mafundisho ya dini, naye akambatiza katika siku ya Bwana wetu Nativity, kushughulikia yake kwa maneno haya: “”Msujudieni kichwa chako kwa upole, O Sicambrian; kuabudu kile wewe huna hata sasa kuteketezwa, kuchoma kile nawe akapiga magoti mbele. “”Baada ya kubatizwa, yeye kumtia mafuta na Krisma takatifu kwa ishara ya msalaba wa Kristo. Zaidi ya elfu tatu wa jeshi walibatizwa, kama ilivyo pia Albofleda, dada Clovis ‘, ambaye alifariki hivi karibuni baada ya; juu ambayo tukio Remigius aliandika kuwafariji mfalme. dada yake mengine, Lanthilda, alikuwa reclaimed kutoka uzushi Arian, mafuta na Krisma takatifu, na kupatanishwa na Kanisa.
