Produktbeschreibung
Written following the collapse of Rome's secular control over western Europe, the History of Gregory (c. AD 539-594) is a fascinating exploration of the events that shaped sixth-century France. This volume contains all ten books from the work, the last seven of which provide an in-depth description of Gregory's own era, in which he played an important role as Bishop of Tours. With skill and eloquence, Gregory brings the age vividly to life, as he relates the exploits of missionaries, martyrs, kings and queens - including the quarrelling sons of Lothar I, and the ruthless Queen Fredegund, third wife of Chilperic. Portraying an age of staggering cruelty and rapid change, this is a powerful depiction of the turbulent progression of faith at a time of political and social chaos.

Autorenporträt
Gregory of Tours, born Georgius Florentius around 538 AD, was a significant figure in the Merovingian kingdom, renowned for his contributions as the Bishop of Tours and as a Gallo-Roman historian. He hailed from a prominent Gallo-Roman family, which positioned him well within the ecclesiastical and political realms of his time. His seminal work, Decem Libri Historiarum or Historia Francorum, provides a detailed account of the Franks and is pivotal for understanding Merovingian history. Gregory's life was intricately woven with the political and religious fabric of his era, navigating complex relationships with Merovingian rulers while contributing to the cultural legacy of early medieval Europe through his writings and the promotion of Christian pilgrimage sites, notably the Tomb of St. Martin in Tours.
