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:
“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)
“Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get.”
—schoolgirl’s definition, quoted in Ladies’ Home Journal (New York, Jan. 1942)
“Cultivate the habit of thinking ahead, and of anticipating the necessary and immediate consequences of all your actions.... Likewise in your pleasures, ask yourself what such and such an amusement leads to, as it is essential to have an objective in everything you do. Any pastime that contributes nothing to bodily strength or to mental alertness is a totally ridiculous, not to say, idiotic, pleasure.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
