What evidence tht … of the Franks is a wife of
Clovis I the Great, King of the Franks?

See http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/MEROVINGIANS.htm#ClovisIB

Cutting the relationship, pending sources.

CHLODOVECH [Clovis], son of CHILDERICH I King of the Franks & his wife Basina --- ([464/67]-Paris [27 Nov] 511, bur Paris, basilique des Saints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Tours names Clovis as son of Childerich & Basina[37]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Childerico" as father of "Chlodovecho rege"[38]. He succeeded his father in [481/82] as CLOVIS I King of the Franks.

CHLODOVECH [Clovis], son of CHILDERICH I King of the Franks & his wife Basina --- ([464/67]-Paris [27 Nov] 511, bur Paris, basilique des Saints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Tours names Clovis as son of Childerich & Basina[37]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Childerico" as father of "Chlodovecho rege"[38].

[m firstly] ---, daughter of --- [of the Franks of the Rhine]. According to Gregory of Tours, the mother of Theoderich was one of King Clovis's concubines not his first wife[46]. Settipani[47] suggests that Theoderich’s mother was a Frank from the Rhine region, based on the inheritance of Austrasia by Theoderich and the roots "Theode-" and "-rich" in his name, possibly transmitted through his mother from Theodemer and Richomer who were both 4th century Frankish kings.

King Clovis & his first [wife/concubine] had one child:
1. THEODERICH ([485]-end 533, bur Metz).

Theodoric, King of the Franks Was showing as son of Chlotilde of Burgundy

So I’ve restored the profile as mother of Theodoric, King of the Franks but named as “unknown,” as per Cawley.

It is possible Evochilde as a name is from:

Wood, Ian N. (1994). The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450–751. Longman, page 50.

No, Wood only refers to her as “an earlier liason.”
