'Selections of the History of the Franks' Summary
Gregory of Tours' *Historia Francorum* is a fascinating account of the early Frankish kingdom and its interaction with the Roman world. It starts with a broad overview of world history, from the Creation to the conversion of Gaul to Christianity. Then, the book focuses on the life of St. Martin of Tours, a key figure in the evangelization of the region. Gregory then details the rise of Clovis, the Frankish king who unified Gaul and embraced Christianity, and the reigns of his successors. This includes accounts of battles, political intrigues, and the lives of prominent individuals, including bishops, saints, and even Gregory himself. He also recounts numerous miracles, showcasing the power of faith in a time of great upheaval. The *Historia Francorum* is not just a chronicle of events; it provides a window into the beliefs, customs, and challenges of the Franks in the early Middle Ages.Book Details
