RICHERUS

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 306 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RICHERUS ,
monk
  of St Remi at Reims, and a chronicler of the loth
century
 , son of Rodulf, a trusty councillor and captain of Louis IV. He studied at Reims under
Gerbert
 , afterwards
Pope
  Silvester II., who taught him
mathematics
 , history, letters and eloquence. He was also well versed in the medical science of his time, and in 991 travelled to Chartres to consult the medical 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
French
  supremacy,of
great
  defects of style, and of an utter disregard of accuracy and truth, his Historiae has a unique value as giving us the only tolerably full account by a contemporary of the memorable revolution of 987, which placed the Capets on the throne of France. The History, in four books, begins with Charles the Fat and Eudes, and goes down to the year 995. From 969 onwards Richerus had no earlier history before him, and his
work
  is the
chief
  source for the period. It was first edited in Pertz's Monumenta Germaniae, vol. iii.
There are
French
  translations by Guadet (Paris, 1845, Soc. de I'hist. de France) ; Poinsignon (Reims, 1855, pub. de I'Academie de Rheims) ; and a
German
  version by K. Freiherr v. der Osten-Sacken (Berlin 1854). Cf. Molinier, Sources de l'histoire de France, i. 284 (ed. 1901).
