Saint Gregory of Tours (30 November c. 538 – 17 November 594) was a Gallo-Roman historian and Bishop of Tours which made him a leading prelate of Gaul. He was born Georgius Florentius later adding the name Gregorius in honour of his maternal great-grandfather. He wrote in form of late Vulgar Latin; however it has been argued that this was a deliberate ploy to ensure his works would reach a wide audience. He is the main contemporary source for Merovingian history.
