Selections Of The History Of The Franks

Selections of the History of the Franks

by Gregory of Tours

The Historia Francorum, written by Gregory of Tours in the late 6th century, is a primary source for the history of the Franks during the Merovingian period. It covers events from the creation of the world to Gregory's own time, with a particular focus on the Christianization of Gaul, the rise of the Frankish kingdom under Clovis, and the reigns of subsequent Frankish kings. Gregory, as a bishop, also offers insights into the role of the Church and the lives of saints in the Frankish world. His work is a blend of historical narrative, biographical sketches, and accounts of miracles and legends, providing a vivid picture of the political, social, and religious landscape of early medieval Gaul.
