Here we talk about a world in which a great epic took shape on the edges of forests and at banquet tables. Where was it? When it was? How did it happen that leaders and kings who lived at different times met on the Catalaunian fields in the famous “Battle of the Nations”? On the pages of the “Chronicles of the Long-Haired Kings” the reader will meet Attila, Theodoric and Brünnhilde - the glorious heroes of the legend of the Nibelungs. He will discover the quinotaur monster, which gave birth to the Merovingian family, whose royal power was transferred only to the offspring who kept their hair uncut. And you will also find yourself in the revived forest of Queen Fredegonda, where Shakespeare and Tolkien visited before him. This book is for those who want to touch the origins, discover the world in which the legendary heroes of the Nibelungs lived: Queen Brünnhilde and the leader of the Huns, Attila, the wise Goth Theodoric and the brave Burgundians. This is a collection of stories about the Dark Ages, when the Merovingians ruled, Spain was conquered by the Goths, Italy by long-bearded Lombards, and the mysterious Picts settled in the north of Britain, covering their bodies with tattoos. The book presents a literary translation (for the first time in Russian) of the “Chronicle of Fredegar”, “Book of the History of the Franks”, fragments from the works of Paul the Deacon, “Anonymous Valois” and other works that preserved the traditions of the Early Middle Ages.
