Chlothar I
Chlothar I〔Also spelled ''Chlothachar'', ''Chlotar'', ''Clothar'', ''Clotaire'', ''Chlotochar'', or ''Hlothar'', giving rise to the name Lothair.〕 (c. 497 – 29 November 561), called the Old (''le Vieux''), King of the Franks, was one of the four sons of Clovis I of the Merovingian dynasty.
==Introduction==
Frankish customs of the day usually allowed for a man to practice polygamy, especially royalty. It was not uncommon, therefore, to see a king with multiple wives and several competing heirs upon his death. This was a major deviation from late Roman customs influenced by the Church of practicing monogamy. Frankish rulers largely practiced this to increase their influence across larger areas of land, since it was in the wake of the collapse of Rome. The aim was to maintain peace and ensure the preservation of the kingdom by appeasing several local leaders.〔Michel Rouche, ''Aquitaine from the Visigoths to the Arabs, 418-781 : naissance d'une région'', Paris, École des hautes études en sciences sociales, Jean Touzot, 1979〕
In much of the Germanic tradition, succession fell not to sons, but to younger brothers, and perhaps uncles and cousins. However Clovis I instituted, under Salic law, the custom of sons being the primary heirs in all respects. However it was not a system of primogeniture, with the eldest son receiving the vast majority of an inheritance, rather it was split evenly between all sons. Therefore, the greater Frankish Kingdom was often splintered into smaller sub-kingdoms.〔
