Liber Historiae Francorum
"Liber Historiae Francorum" is customarily dated to the year 727 because of a reference to the end of the sixth year of Theuderic IV. It offers a Neustrian perspective of the era of mayors of the palace, where the factions of the great territorial magnates could only be held in check and balanced by the consecrated legitimacy of the Merovingian king. "Liber Historiae Francorum" has been explored and interpreted by Richard Gerberding, and more recently by Rosamond McKitterick, in "History and Memory in the Carolingian World". As a widely read narrative, it helped create a sense of cultural solidarity among the readership for whom it was intended, whose biases it caters to, and whose political agenda it promotes.
