The History of the Franks (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Hardcover

by Gregory of Tours (Author), Earnest Brehaut (Translator)

The History of the Franks contains Christian tales of miracles, descriptions of omens and natural events, stories of Christian martyrs, dialogues of church debates, discussions of the lives of holy men, nobility, and eccentric peasants, frequent Bible verses and references, and explorations of the complex international relations between numerous tribes and nations.

The History of the Franks is a central source for early Frankish history, representing the period of transition from late Roman antiquity to early Medieval times in a nascent Europe. It is believed to be the only reliable source of information to describe the emerging military and political power of the Franks in one kingdom.
