Saint Clotilda is a historical biography written by Godefroid Kurth and published in 1906. The book tells the story of Clotilda, a Frankish queen who played a significant role in the conversion of the Frankish people to Christianity.

However, after his victory over the Alemanni, he converted to Christianity, largely due to the influence of Clotilda. The book explores Clotilda's life, her religious beliefs and her influence on her husband.

The author draws on primary sources, including letters and chronicles, to provide a comprehensive and accurate portrayal of Clotilda's life and legacy. Overall, Saint Clotilda is a fascinating historical biography that sheds light on an important figure in the history of Christianity and the Frankish kingdom.
