1 FINAL HONOUR SCHOOL OF MODERN HISTORY SPECIAL SUBJECT Francia in the Age of Clovis and Gregory of Tours Bibliography

2 FRANCIA IN THE AGE OF CLOVIS AND GREGORY OF TOURS This Bibliography includes, we hope, most of the obvious works in English that you might need for the term s coursework or for your extended essay. Do please let us know if you come across anything else you found useful, that should be included. We have also included a few works in French and German, if you can read those languages, which might be useful, particularly for some extended essay topics. There are longer bibliographies in: James, Origins, and Wood, Merovingian Kingdoms. And a further massive one, which might well be worth trawling when preparing an extended essay, at: 1.
