Merovaeus, founder of the Merovingian House of Frankish Kings, was possibly the son-in-law rather than son of
Clodion. Merovaeus defeated Atilla with the aid of Aetius in 451 and reigned as King, 448-458. Also known as
Merowig, he was a Flandrian or Tournai Frank.{See Encyclopaedia Brit., 1959, 5:467-8, 9:698}


Merovaeus (Meroveus/Merovee/Merovech) was King of the Salian Franks from 447 to 456, after whom the Merovingian Dynasty is named. It is believed by some historians that this dynasty was descended from Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and that the blood-line has continued down through the centuries to the present day. Organisations which seem to been involved in its continuation and protection include the Knights Templar and the 'secret society', The Priory of Sion, whose Grand Masters are said to include Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo and Claude Debussy.
