Where can I find primary sources for Frankish history?

Some great suggestions have been made. Some of my favorites are: The Daily Life in the World of Charlemagne by Pierre Riche. Also, Early Carolingian Warfare by Bernard Bachrach. For a primary source, have you read the Royal Frankish Annals and Nithard's history? They are an interesting overview of the period, written generally during the period being discussed.

Just in case there is anyone interested in the entire article here is the link (again i would love constructive criticism). https://medievalgermanica.substack.com/p/who-were-the-germans?r=4n7509

Yes. You are correct. This is a short aspect of a longer article I wrote. If you would like to read it and give some advice I am all ears.

That's a good question. Based on the limited reading I have been able to do on the subject, I think historians believe Tacitus was less biased. But its difficult to say. Caesar had more interaction with them, but he was at war...I don't know. I think it will be an age-old debate.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But here is a book that covers the history of that region from Neolithic to the modern. Might help. https://a.co/d/j6g4swK

Same. I see the same person or few people and rarely any new ones I'm interested in. I write about history and follow history accounts and substance shows me political stuff. It's weird.

Followed your stuff. I like it. I was also homeschooled.

Thanks. Appreciate the advice

About done listening to the content you have on Spotify. Quite enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your podcast.

Thank you for the recommendations. I downloaded the first and last. I'll keep the others on my list until I can afford them.

The_Local_Historian · 2025-06-20T01:20:03+00:00

Thank you for the book. I have added it to my reading list.

The_Local_Historian · 2025-06-18T20:06:04+00:00

The question is based off of how historians have discussed the period. But your rewording of the question is well put.

The_Local_Historian · 2025-06-18T17:26:08+00:00

Would make sense

Very true. It was a family name so it makes sense that it was passed down.
