490 1  Social worlds of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  Peering into the invisible world -- Maturing spiritually 
       in a perilous world -- Pastoring from the pulpit and the 
       page -- Discerning the denizens of Heaven and Hell -- 
       Fathoming the fates of the Merovingians. 
520    Gregory of Tours was a bishop of late antiquity who was 
       famously devoted to promoting the efficacy of saintly 
       powers. In his writings, both historical and 
       hagiographical, Gregory depicted the saints and reprobates
       of his age. This book analyses Gregory's writings about 
       death and the afterlife, thereby illuminating the bishop's
       pastoral imperative to save souls and revealing his 
       opinions about the fates of Merovingian royals, among many
       others he mentions in his voluminous text. The study 
       provides insight into Gallic peoples living at the dawning
       of the Middle Ages and their hopes and fears about the 
       otherworld. It affords an original, nuanced interpretation
       of Gregory's motives for penning his works, particularly 
       the Historiae, which remained unfinished upon the author's
       death.
