摘要
6世纪晚期,都尔主教格雷戈里在《历史十书》中精心探索法兰克人的起源和墨洛温王室的渊源,为后来的史家提供了榜样。这里称之为"格雷戈里命题"。半个世纪后,《弗里德加编年史》更加范围广泛地探讨了"格雷戈里命题",因此,通过比较,可以发现在新的政治形势下,弗里德加如何重新解决这一命题。他一方面通过增加故事,构建谱系为墨洛温王室统治的合法性进行辩护,另一方面,通过引入一代不如一代的传说故事,对后来诸王的统治无能表示了不满。
Gregory of Tours in the late sixth century sets a precedent, which may be called ＇the Gregorian Thesis＇ , to explore the origin of the Frankish kings in his Ten Books of Histories. By comparing these narrations with the descriptions of Fredegar who wrote almost half a century later, we may obtain some ideas about the different approaches that the latter author utilized to deal with the ＇ Gregorian Thesis＇. Not only by incorporating their more mythical stories he praises the high quality of the Merovingian ancestors and consequently their success, but also by creating for them a great genealogy back to Noah, he rightly legitimizes their rulership. However, at the same time he also criticizes directly the later kings＇ powerlessness and makes a sharp contrast between those powerful ancestors and the later generations by introducing a fable of the dynastic atrophy, so that his nuanced attitude to the Merovingian family should be analyzed in detail.
