time, and in 991 travelled to See also:Chartres to consult the medical See also:MSS. there. He was still living in 998, but there is no mention of him after that date. In spite of his violent partisanship,—for Richerus was an ardent upholder of the Carolings and See also:French supremacy,—of See also:great defects of See also:style, and of an utter disregard of accuracy and truth, his Historiae has a unique value as giving us the only tolerably full See also:account by a contemporary of the memorable revolution of 987, which placed the Capets on the See also:throne of See also:France. The History, in four books, begins with See also:Charles the See also:Fat and Eudes, and goes down to the See also:year 995. From 969 onwards Richerus had no earlier history before him, and his See also:work is the See also:chief source for the See also:period. It was first edited in See also:Pertz's Monumenta Germaniae, vol. iii.
There are French See also:translations by See also:Guadet (See also:Paris, 1845, See also:Soc. de I'hist. de France) ; Poinsignon (Reims, 1855, pub. de I'Academie de Rheims) ; and a See also:German version by K.
