Course Description: Gregory of Tours' 'History of the Franks' is the key document tracing the rise of what became the kingdom of France and is one of a cluster of histories charting the development of the 'barbarian' kingdoms as the Roman Empire fragmented and before the emergence of the Holy Roman Empire. This course will read excerpts from the eyewitness account of this bishop of Tours for six weeks and then spend a further four weeks reading Gregory's hagiographical material. Participants should have an impression of the political and spiritual vitality of Merovingian France as well as the waywardness of Gregory's own eccentric Latin style.
