The Merovingian Kingdoms 450 - 751

The Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom for nearly 300 years, is often overlooked due to the negative portrayal by the succeeding Carolingians and their tumultuous family history. Ian Wood aims to rehabilitate the Merovingians' legacy through a comprehensive survey that sheds light on their significance in early medieval history. This work is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of this era and challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding these rulers.
