Good day,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am seeking the historical source of a quote. The quote is supposedly from St Remi, also known as Remigius, who uttered the following statement, actually a prophecy, over Clovis, first Christian king of the Franks, in 498AD.
However, I have not been able to track down the exact source in the ancient writings.
Can anybody assist?
The quote/prophecy, purportedly from Remi, runs:
“The kingdom of France is predestined by God to defend the Church of Christ Our Lord. This kingdom will be great among all the kingdoms of the earth. In as much as it is loyal to its calling, it will be victorious. If it proves unfaithful in this, it will be punished harshly. Nevertheless, it will remain until the end of time.”
