What is Late Merovingian France: History And Hagiography, 640-720 (manchester Medieval Sources Series) about?

A translation and interpretation of eight Merovingian Francia narrative texts from 640 to 720 presenting a view of the "Dark Ages" that concerns itself with the ways in which early medieval society organized itself for political ends. The stories tell remarkable tales of queens, kings, warriors, clergy, and saints, and reveal more to the period than simply an age of economic and political decline. The enthusiasm of the authors is reflected in the careful translation, discussions of historical background, and examinations of hagiography and historiography in general.
