| Abstract | The so-called ‘minor’ Frankish annals can be seen as the product of a multi-generational and multi-regional debate about the Carolingian past. In the first session of this strand, Robert Flierman focuses on the diverse ways the Saxons were portrayed across several annals and their manuscripts. Bob Evans looks at changes in late 8th-century Carolingian history writing with regard to divine agency, and the role of minor annals in that process. Finally, Bart van Hees takes on the chain of chronicles in Rome, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Reg. Lat. 213 and its version of the Annales Laureshamenses acting as linchpin between Fredegar’s world chronicle and the Royal Frankish Annnals. |
