Annales Vedastini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Annales Vedastini or Annals of St-Vaast are a series of annals written in the early tenth century at the monastery of St-Vaast in Arras. They are an important source for the ninth century. The years from 873 to 900 are covered with a strong bias for Lotharingian and West Frankish affairs. Like the Annales Fuldenses and Annales Bertiniani, the AV, as it is often abbreviated, was combined with the other Reichsannalen in the so-called Chronicon Vedastinum, a general chronicle covering the history of the Carolingian Empire up until 899.
