Georgius Florentius Gregorius, better known to posterity as Gregory, Bishop of Tours, was born about 538 to a highly distinguished GalloRoman family in Clermont in the region of Auvergne. Best known for his 10book Histories (often called the History of the Franks), Gregory left us detailed accounts of his own times as well as those of the early Merovingian kings, known as the 'longhaired kings,' who united the Franks and took control of most of Gaul in the late fifth and early sixth century. Although he is one of the most important historians of premodern times, the complex, apparently disconnected, elements of Gregory's work are often difficult for today's readers to understand. This selected, new translation is composed of extensive sections from Books II to X and follows in a connected narrative the political events of the Histories from the appearance of the first Merovingian kings, Merovech, Childeric, and Clovis to the last years of the reigns of Guntram and Childebert II in the late sixth century. This book is designed to introduce new readers, and even experienced ones, to the political world (secular and ecclesiastical) of sixthcentury Gaul and to provide an uptodate guide to reading the bishop of Tours' fascinating account of his times.Included in this volume are twentyone drawings by JeanPaul Laurens, a nineteenthcentury French historical artist and interpreter of the Merovingians.
