Odobera

Odobera, also known as Odobera the Elder, was a Frankish queen and the wife of King Clovis I. She is notable for her role in the conversion of the Frankish kingdom to Christianity. Odobera was the daughter of the Visigothic king Theodoric I and his wife, Audofleda. She married Clovis in 493, and together they had three children: Clotilde, Childebert I, and Clodomir.

Odobera played a significant role in the religious conversion of the Franks. She was a devout Christian and was instrumental in the construction of the Basilica of Saint-Remi in Reims, which became the site of Clovis's coronation and the coronation of his successors. Odobera's influence extended beyond her husband's reign, as she continued to support Christianity even after Clovis's death.

Odobera's legacy is marked by her dedication to Christianity and her role in the religious and political unification of the Frankish kingdom. Her influence can be seen in the religious practices and architectural developments of the Frankish kingdom during her time. Odobera's story is an important part of the history of the Franks and the spread of Christianity in Europe.
