This collection of documents in translation brings together the
seminal sources for the late Merovingian Frankish kingdom. It
inteprets the chronicles and saint's lives rigorously to reveal new
insights into the nature and significance of sanctity, power and
power relationships. The book makes available a range of 7th- and
early 8th-century texts, five of which have never before been
translated into English. It opens with a broad-ranging explanation
of the historical background to the translated texts and then each
source is accompanied by a full commentary and an introductory
essay exploring its authorship, language and subject matter. The
sources are rich in the detail of Merovingian political life. Their
subjects are the powerful in society and they reveal the successful
interplay between power and sanctity, a process which came to
underpin much of European culture throughout the early Middle Ages.
