Champs de Mars
The March meetings held by Clovis and his immediate followers,
sometimes as mere pageants for the amusement of the freedmen who came
to offer homage to their lord, and pay their annual gifts; sometimes
for business purposes, especially when the king wished to consult his
warriors about some expedition.
