Consequences
The Alemanni abandoned the Upper Rhine and left the Ripuarian Franks alone, and the absence of profit to Clovis, who allowed his ally to retain the territory, allowed him to have the help of Sigebert during the conquest of the French part of the Visigothic kingdom.
Another consequence was the conversion of Clovis to Catholicism after a long period of reflection (usually historians believe his conversion dates to the year 498 or 499), which brought him the support of neighbouring Christians as well as that of the influential clergy. In addition, it allowed Clovis to undertake conquests and crusades to Christianize his new territories or expunge Arianism, considered a heresy by the clergy.

Famous quotes containing the word consequences:
“We are still barely conscious of how harmful it is to treat children in a degrading manner. Treating them with respect and recognizing the consequences of their being humiliated are by no means intellectual matters; otherwise, their importance would long since have been generally recognized.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
“The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,... One of the truths to be faced by parents during this period is that they cannot do the work of living and relating for their children. They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
