Summary "Les grandes chroniques de France (2/6)" by Paulin Paris is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the chronicles of French history preserved in the church of Saint-Denis, specifically detailing the history from the death of Dagobert to the death of Louis the Debonair. The text delves into the reigns of Merovingian and Carolingian kings, presenting intricate narratives and analyses of various historical figures and events. At the start of the volume, the author discusses the various sources and chronicles used to narrate the history of France, highlighting the contributions of historians like Éginhard and the chroniclers of Saint-Denis. The opening portion introduces important figures, including Dagobert and Louis the Debonair, and emphasizes the political intrigues and challenges faced during their reigns. There is a focus on the evolving power dynamics between the royal lineages and the mayors of the palace, along with mention of contemporary societal values and beliefs as reflected through the chronicles. Through a blend of actual events, pious legends, and moral interpretations, the groundwork for a rich retelling of France's royal heritage is established.
