Historia Francorum

"Historia Francorum," or "History of the Franks," is a historical text written by Gregory of Tours in the 6th century. It chronicles the history of the Frankish people and the rise of their kingdom, detailing events from the Roman period through the Merovingian dynasty. The work is significant for its insights into early medieval Europe, society, and the Christianization of the Franks. Gregory blends historical fact with religious observation, capturing the culture and politics of his time while providing valuable context for understanding the development of France and its people.
