Sidonius's relations have been traced over several generations as a narrative of a family's fortunes, from the prominence of his paternal grandfather's time into later decline in the 6th century under the [[Franks]]. Sidonius's son Apollinaris, who was a correspondent of [[Ruricius]] of [[Limoges]], commanded a unit raised in [[Auvergne (province)|Auvergne]] at the [[Battle of Vouille]] in 507, where the Goths were decisively defeated by the Franks.{{sfn|Mratschek|2020|p=231}} He was also bishop of Clermont for four months before his death.<ref>Gregory of Tours, 2.37, 3.2</ref> Sidonius's grandson, Arcadius, on hearing a rumor that the Frankish king [[Theuderic I]] had died, betrayed Clermont to [[Childebert I]], only to abandon his wife and mother when Theuderic appeared; his other appearance in the history of Gregory of Tours is as a servant of king Childebert.<ref>Gregory of Tours, 3.9, 11</ref>
