Gregorius of Tours

Japanese: グレゴリウス[トゥールの](英語表記)Gregorius
Gregorius of Tours
540-595
Frankish clergyman, historian, and saint. Born into a family of Roman senators living in Gaul, he became bishop of Tours in 573. While embroiled in political struggles within the Merovingian royal family, he gained knowledge of the Franks, and in 576 wrote the 10 volumes of the History of the Franks, the most important historical source of the early Middle Ages. Volume 1 covers the period from the creation of the world to 397, volumes 2-4 cover early Frankish history up to 575, and volumes 5-10 cover his contemporaries from then until 591. The narrative is detailed and vivid. His purpose was to encourage faith by learning lessons from the good and bad deeds of the Franks.
