Talk:Fredegar

Do we really need a separate page for the unnamed author of a work which is known only by his latterly invented name? Srnec 04:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I found this article under the name "Fredgar". That is something we definitly don't need ;-) I also found a Category:Frankish historians and I think that if we use this both as an overview for Frankish historians, as wel as for people that wrote on Frankish history (say: Ammianus Marcellinus, or Gregory of Tours ;-), we can create a handy overview of primary sources. It won't help both of us much, but for a new student it may be useful. If you would say that category should be renamed in Category:historians on Franks, I agree. johanthon 09:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I would merge this article with Chronicle of Fredegar, though I don't care under which title it goes. I think the category would be best be named Category:Historians of the Franks, which does not imply that they are Frankish and is more idiomatic in English than "Historians on Franks". Or how about Category:Frankish historiography, which could incoporate articles on the works, such as the Annals of Fulda and Liber Historiae Francorum, sometiems of unknown/uncertain authorship, and on the historians themselves.

 * That would be fine. This categorizing is all about easy and useful navigation to me. As long as "Fredgar" does not return you have my blessing. johanthon 18:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
