The Burgundian Civil War of 500–501 also brought some changes: Clovis was invited by Godigisel to intervene and Gundobad, who was being besieged by the Franks in Avignon, turned to Theodoric to come and help him.

After the end of the Burgundian Civil War, Clovis and Alaric made peace at a meeting on an island in the Loire River.

[3] Both sides had suffered heavy losses in the previous confrontation and Clovis had to give up all his conquests when he was finally defeated over the Loire.

Despite this, his chances increased significantly when another uprising broke out in Hispania in 506 and he unexpectedly got two new allies at his side who had everyone's motives to support him.

Based on various contemporary sources, it can be seen that it was a publicly widespread tradition that Clovis made the promise that he would be converted to the Catholic faith in Tours.

[9] A comparison with previous and later decades shows that it is more likely that they had armies composed of several thousand men,[10] with the aristocrats and their entourage forming the heavy cavalry.

It is quite clear that his intention this time was to conquer the south and not a raid like the previous war, because Clovis forbade his men to plunder the country.

Gregory of Tours, the main source on the details of this battle, reports that the nucleus of the Visigothic army was destroyed and Alaric II was killed by Clovis in a duel.

However, after a prolonged siege, the Ostrogoths led by Ibbas intervened in 508 and inflicted heavy casualties, forcing the Burgundians to retreat.

However, the siege ended in failure, as Ostrogothic auxiliary forces led by Ibbas also arrived there and managed to expel the Franks.

In the south he withstand and received help from the Ostrogoths who recaptured Narbonne and defended Arles against Frankish conquest, after which a stalemate arose.

Theodoric overthrew Gesalec after a battle near Barcelona,[18] and formed a Gothic superstate extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Danube.

While territories that had been lost to the Franks remained so, Theodoric made a peace arrangement with the heirs of the Frankish kingdom after Clovis died.
