About This Book

Rédigé par un chroniqueur monastique du Moyen Âge, l'ouvrage rassemble traditions, généalogies et récits concernant une lignée ducale régionale, mêlant origines légendaires, récits de combats, événements politiques et portraits des mœurs sociales. Organisé en livres successifs avec des appendices et interpolations postérieurs, il alterne courtes notices annales et épisodes anecdotiques plus développés, reflétant souvent l'imagination populaire aux côtés d'un rapport factuel. Des remarques liminaires exposent les intentions et la dédicace, tandis que des notes et corrections ultérieures précisent des variantes textuelles et des choix éditoriaux.
