Summary

The conclusions discuss the historiographical preference shown to the Trojan and biblical origin stories, and the motif of Merovingian decline following the death of Dagobert as a consequence of the Dionysian influence on the historiographical tradition. It discusses the different solutions proposed forthe transfer of royal power in AD 751, and the need to contend with the charged legacy of this event. Different responses to Carolingian ascent began to emerge in the tenth century, as Carolingian power diminished and then was supplanted by the Capetians. The chapter concludes with a discussion of genre and its effects on our understanding of the sources and the intent of the authors.
