The Germanic Tribes

In The Sign Of The Cross (1x4)

:

The invasions have changed the map of Europe and considerably reduced the power of Rome. At the Battle of Tolbiac against the Alamanni in 496 Clovis, king of the Franks, implores the god of the Christians to give him the victory - and gets it. Now, alongside his warriors, he added more and more bishops, the representatives of Christianity which is the state religion in Rome for over a century already. His vassal Radulf - the fictional narrator of the last episode - grew up in the belief in the gods of the Germans and refused this development. Personal meetings with adherents of the new religion led him gradually to change the image he had formed. When Clovis was baptized at Reims, a little before the year 500, Radulf agreed with the position of his lord and he is responsible for a new mission: to spread the Christian faith throughout the kingdom of the Franks.
