	St. Gregory of Tours - LoveToKnow 1911
		ST, OF TOURS GREGORY (538-594), historian of the Franks, was born in the chief city of the Arverni (the modern ClermontFerrand) on the 30th of November 538.
		Gregory belonged to an illustrious senatorial family, many of whose members held high office in the church and bear honoured names in the history of Christianity.
		Gregory lost his father early, and his mother Armentaria settled in the kingdom of Burgundy on an estate belonging to her near Cavaillon, where her son often visited her.

	Gregory of Tours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory was born into the upper stratum of Gallo-Roman society, of senatorial rank on both sides as he tells us, in Clermont, in the Auvergne region of central Gaul.
		Gregory lived also on the border between the Frankish culture of the Merovingians to the north and the Gallo-Roman culture of the south of Gaul.
		Gregory's education was limited: the narrowly Christian one available, ignoring the liberal arts and the pagan classics.

	St. Gregory of Tours - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
		Gregory knew grammar and literature as well as any man of his time; it is a mere affectation on his part when he poses as ill-instructed; perhaps he hoped thereby to win praise for his learning.
		The new king was acquainted with Gregory and insisted that in deference to the wishes of the people of Tours he should become their bishop; thus it came to pass that Gregory went to Rome for consecration.
		Gregory explains the government of the world by the constant intervention of the supernatural: direct assistance of God, intercession of saints, and recourse to the miracles wrought at their tombs.

		Gregory justified this confidence, and his episcopal reign was highly creditable to him and useful to his flock; the circumstances of the time offered peculiar difficulties, and the office of bishop was onerous both from a civil and a religious point of view.

	Tours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tours is a city in France, the préfecture (capital city) of the Indre-et-Loire département, on the lower reaches of the river Loire, between Orléans and the Atlantic coast.
		The cathedral of Tours, dedicated to Saint Gatien, its canonized first bishop, was begun about 1170 to replace the just-started cathedral that was burnt out in 1166, during the quarrel between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England.
		Tours is famous for its old part of the city called Le Vieux Tours with medieval style houses in half-timbering and Place Plumereau, a square with pubs and restaurants full of people who dine and drink outside at tables filling the center of the square.

		For example, Gregory mentions that his mother had an oratory with an altar containing the relics of Saint Eusebius, the fourth century bishop of Vercelli, who was a tireless advocate for Trinitarian orthodoxy in Gaul (Gregory of Tours HF 5.44).
		According to Gregory, the saint was a vigilant protector of his mother, once preventing her house from being totally consumed by a fire (Gregory of Tours GC 3).
		Gregory's choice to include the relics of Bishop Martin of Tours into his oratory was an obvious one since he had recently become bishop of this town in a cloud of controversy.

	Gregory of Tours
		Bishop of Tours, whose Historia Francorum is the chief authority for the early Merovingian period of French history.
		He places in 520 the raid against the Frisian territory of the Franks by a Scandinavian leader 'Chochilaicus' (in Latin) who has been identified with the Geatish king Hygelac in Beowulf; the raid is mentioned in Beowulf at lines 1207, 2357, 2503, and 2912.
		Gregory's identification provides the only historical corroboration for any character or event in the poem.

	Gregory of Tours: On Clovis, King of the Franks
		Note: Gregory of Tours (around 538-around 594) wrote an ecclesiastical [church] history of the Franks, the Germanic tribe that had settled in the estuary of the Rhine in Roman times, and then had spread across the breadth of northern Gaul in the sixth century.
		Gregory in the following passages describes Clovis, powerful King of the Franks, who reigned from 481 to 511 and was largely responsible for the successful Frankish conquest of almost all Gaul.
		Queen Clotilda came to Tours after the death of her husband and served there in the church of St. Martin, and dwelt in the place with the greatest chastity and kindness all the days of her life, rarely visiting Paris.

	Wars and Warriors in Gregory of Tours
		Gregory’s antipathy and Biblically-conditioned worldview combine with the dramatic and ethical necessities of his plot in Book II, in which Clovis’s invasion of their territory has to be justified, to produce a wavering image of the fifth-century Goths, an unsteady portrait only partially explained by the scantiness of his sources.
		Gregory’s chronological and geographical “error” in having the Vandal king Trasamund ruling in Spain in the fifth century would seem to be, inter alia, a typological prefiguration of the heretical Goths of Spain in his own era[27].
		Gregory’s warriors and their actions are often measured not by their adherence to individual Christian morality, but according to their conformance to the standards of the just war, an ideology of practical utility for the vital interests of the broader Christian society.

	Gregory of Tours- History for Kids!
		Gregory of Tours was born about 538 AD - we don't know exactly when.
		At that time, the Bishop of Tours was the most important bishop in France, and so Gregory knew all kinds of important people - the Merovingian kings and queens, and all the people who came to visit them, and all the other lords and ladies, and of course the other bishops.
		Gregory decided to write a book about all these people he knew, which would be a history of his own times.

	Interpretive and Critical Analysis comparing Gregory of Tours v. Pseudo-Dionysius
		Gregory assures us that Chilperic, "the Nero and Herod of our time" (165), was a glutton who "often punished men unjustly:, who wrote "feeble little verses", and who undermined the authority of the bishops.
		Thus, it is that silence, for Gregory, is a veil for murder, and usurpation, that is, for Evil.
		Gregory states flatly that Cush, the proto-anti-christ, was "instructed by the devil (8)." It is curious in this vein that the construction of the Tower of Babyl, perhaps the beginning of secular civilization, is attributed to one "giant Nebron, the son of Cush".

	Gregory of Tours - Cambridge University Press
		For over 1400 years the Histories of Gregory of Tours (538-594) - the principal work of Merovingian history - have been understood as a 'history of the Franks' and as an objective portrayal of history, albeit told by a naive narrator succeeding only in chronological organization.
		Gregory's historiographical interests can be seen as focusing on the development of a socio-political concept of society, which wishes to see the leadership of the Christian state entrusted to the joint government of bishops and king (christianus princeps).
