Beschreibung
The father of French history, Saint Gregory of Tours wrote a detailed ‘History of the Franks’, which serves as a major sixth century source for studying the Merovingian kingdom. Composed of ten books, it recounts events from the Creation to the Christianisation of Gaul, the life and times of Saint Martin, the conversion of the Franks and the conquest of Gaul under Clovis I, as well as a detailed history of the Frankish kings down to the death of Sigebert I in 575. A vivid teller of intriguing tales, Gregory is a rhetorically sophisticated writer, who conveys profound religious and spiritual messages. The first comprehensive history of the French people, ‘Historia Francorum’ provides invaluable insight into the political life of central Europe in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works, with noted English translations and the original texts. This eBook presents Gregory’s complete ‘History of the Franks’, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
