Merovech by Evariste Vital Luminais 1821-1896
"Priscus writes: 'Attila's excuse for war against the Franks was the death of their king and the disagreement of his children over the rule, the elder who decided to bring Attila in as his ally, and the younger, Aetius. I saw this boy when he was at Rome on an embassy, a lad without down on his cheeks as yet and with fair hair so long that it poured down his shoulders. Aetius had made him his adopted son.'
Chlodio died just before Attila's invasion so Priscus' unnamed Frankish princes could have been his sons and one of them could have been Merovech. We will never know for certain."
