ADHEMAR DE CHABANNES (c. 988–c. 1030), me diaeval historian, was born at Chabannes, France. He was a monk of the monastery of St. Cybard, Angouleme, and died, probably at Jerusalem, where he was on pilgrimage. Adhemar's principal work, Chronicon Aquitanicum et Francicum or Historia Francor um, is in three books and deals with Frankish history from the fabulous reign of Pharamond, king of the Franks, to A.D. 1028. The two earlier books are scarcely more than a copy of the Gesta regum Francorum, but the third, dealing with the period from 814 to 1028, is of considerable historical importance, and is published in the Monumenta Germaniae historica, Scriptores, iv. (Hanover and Berlin, 1826-92). Other writings of Adhernar's are published by J. P. Migne in the Patrologia Latina, tome cxli. (Paris, See F. Arbellot, Etude historique et litteraire sur Ademar de Chabannes (Limoges, 1873) ; J. F. E. Castaigne, Dissertation sur le lieu de naissance et sur la famille du chroniqueur Ademar moine de l'abbaye de St. Cybard d'Angouleme (Angouleme, 185o).
