The
Vita Pardulfi Abbatis Waractensis (
Medieval Latin for "Life of (Saint) Pardulf of Guéret") is a work on the life of Pardulphus, which was written around the middle of the eighth century. The
Vita Pardulfi is notable for the insight it provides into life in
Aquitaine during the time of its writing. The work also indicates the high esteem in which Duke
Odo of Aquitaine was held, in contrast to the negative picture provided by the
Continuations of Fredegar, which were compiled on the instructions of Duke
Childebrand, half-brother of Odo's rival
Charles Martel. ==References==
