Ian Wood's book, The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751
Dear Newsgroup ~
Regarding the topic of the Merovingian dynasty and its connection to
the succeeding Carolingian dynasty, newsgroup members might like to
take a look the information provided in Ian Wood's interesting book,
The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751.
Mr. Wood is Professor of Early Medieval History at the School of
History at the University of Leeds. For interest's sake, I've listed
below Ian Wood's "recent" publications. Clearly Mr. Woods is a
serious medieval scholar, and a prolific one at that.
Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
