| Summary | "Les grandes chroniques de France (1/6)" by Paulin Paris is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work examines the Chronicles of Saint-Denis, which detail the history and genealogy of the French monarchy from its legendary beginnings through critical events leading up to the death of King Dagobert I. The narrative emphasizes the significance of monastic records in preserving France’s historical legacy and outlines the transition of historical storytelling from oral tradition to written documentation. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the significance of the Chronicles of Saint-Denis, arguing for their importance in providing a factual basis for French history amidst the haze of myth and legend. Paris discusses the role of monks in preserving these historical documents and laments the potentially skewed perspectives of contemporary chroniclers compared to earlier records. The passage highlights the author’s intent to offer a well-researched and critical exploration of these chronicles, promoting their use as reliable sources of France's royal lineage and history, while recognizing the blend of fact and legend that characterizes the narrative tradition of that era.
