In "Saint Clotilda," Godefroi Kurth presents the inspiring life of St. Clotilda, Queen of the Franks, whose unwavering faith and devotion played a crucial role in the conversion of her husband, Clovis I, and ultimately, the Frankish people. This monumental event laid the foundation for the rise of Christendom, shaping the course of European history. St. Clotilda's influence paved the way for the eventual emergence of Charlemagne, the great Catholic emperor who established the Holy Roman Empire, and indirectly, the Kingdom of France.
 
Through her marriage and encouragement of Clovis' conversion, St. Clotilda stands as the matriarch of Christendom, whose legacy has reverberated throughout the centuries of Church history. Her life after Clovis' death, was filled with crosses. Yet, her acts of charity, the building of churches, and her eventual retreat to a life of prayer and service, are an edifying example for Catholic women everywhere.
