Publisher's Synopsis
The idea of this book was stemmed of the scarce references about the first French king, the first Christian king. Despite of the wealth of publications about the Frankish kingdom that reigned under 68 ultimate monarchs - from 486 to 1870, this particular effort is an oddity for the following reasons: (1) it is based on primary sources and not on the web-links; (2) it is an unbiased, even-handed reference, and (3) it is the only existing junior-friendly English book about the first French king.
