Historiography and sources

    "The story of the Franks, especially of the earlier Franks, is rich in fable but poor in history."

        —Preface to Lewis Sergeant's The Franks

There exists a limited number of contemporary sources for the history of the Merovingian Franks, but those which have survived cover the entire period from Clovis' succession to Childeric's deposition. First and foremost among chroniclers of the age is the canonised bishop of Tours, Gregory of Tours. His Decem Libri Historiarum is a primary source for the reigns of the sons of Clotaire II and their descendants until Gregory's own death in 594.
