What it is
A history of the Franks and of Aquitaine by a monk who also forged an apostolic pedigree for his own monastery's patron and staged a council to confirm it.
Why it lasted
Valuable for the Peace of God movement and for heresy accusations around the year 1000 — and a famous case study in medieval forgery.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
