This work chronicles the history of the Frankish people, detailing the socio-political landscape during the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of early medieval kingdoms in Gaul. The narrative intertwines religious themes, recounting the actions of kings, saints, and the church, providing insights into the customs and beliefs of the time. The opening of "History of the Franks" sets the stage for Gregory's exploration of the tumultuous period marked by pagan incursions, the conflicts among Christian factions, and the challenges faced by the church.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the struggles between good and evil, laying a foundation for the history he is about to present.
