"Clovis, Tome 1 (of 2)" by Godefroid Kurth is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the figure of Clovis, the first king of the Franks, examining his significance in establishing the foundations of modern France. Kurth aims to fill a gap in historical literature, as Clovis has not been extensively chronicled despite his crucial role as a leader during the transition from Roman to medieval Europe. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a deep exploration of Clovis's life and legacy, detailing the difficulty of reconstructing his history due to the scarcity and fragmentary nature of the surviving sources. Kurth discusses the lack of direct historical documentation from Clovis's reign, highlighting how previous accounts have been marred by legend and myth. The author expresses his motivation to provide a comprehensive narrative about Clovis, emphasizing his influence in shaping the early medieval society of the Franks and his pivotal role in the Christianization of the region. Kurth introduces the complex historical context, which will form the foundation for the subsequent exploration of Clovis’s conquests, reign, and the foundational events that positioned him as a key figure in European history.
