A bronze medal commemorating the life of Clovis III, son of Theuderic III (also known as Thierri I) and sixteenth King of France. He is often referred to as Clovis IV as there was a usurper referred to as Clovis III who sat on the Frankish thrown before him. The rightful Clovis III was just a boy when he became sole king of the Franks and was therefore easily used as a puppet king by his Uncle Pepin II, Mayor of Austrasia.
