Medieval chronicle of 4th- to 8th-century Frankish history
This article is about the anonymous 8th-century chronicle. For Gregory of Tours' 6th-century work, see Historia Francorum. For the history of the First Crusade, see Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem.
Liber Historiae Francorum (English: "The Book of the History of the Franks") is a chronicle written anonymously during the 8th century. The first sections served as a secondary source for early Franks in the time of Marcomer, giving a short breviarum of events until the time of the late Merovingians. The subsequent sections of the chronicle are important primary sources for the contemporaneous history. They provide an account of the Pippinid family in Austrasia before they became the most famous Carolingians.
The Liber Historiae Francorum uses a lot of material from the earlier Historia Francorum by bishop and historian Gregory of Tours, completed in 594.
