English summary: The Gesta regum Francorum, or Acts of the Kings of the Franks, is one of the main sources for the history of the Franks and the Merovingian dynasty. The author was likely a literate noble, versed in the ways of the court and the battlefield. Through this source, readers see the disintegration of the Merovingian dynasty and the rise of the Pippinids, who would become the Carolingians. Critical edition of the original Latin with accompanying French edition, notes, and commentaries. French description: Ce recit connu sous les titres de Gesta regum Francorum (la Geste des rois des Francs) ou de Liber Historiae Francorum est, avec les Dix livres d'histoire de Gregoire de Tours et la Chronique dite de Fredegaire, une des sources principales de l'histoire des origines du peuple franc et de la royaute merovingienne. Il est meme la source premiere et fondamentale de l'histoire du peuple et des rois francs pendant la periode allant du milieu du VIIe siecle jusqu'a la date de sa redaction en 727, date precisement donnee dans les dernieres lignes du texte. Son auteur l'a ecrit dans la region du nord de la Gaule qu'on appelait alors Neustrie, moins vraisemblablement dans un monastere ( l'hypothese en a souvent ete formulee ), qu'a l'ombre du palais royal. Il s'agit sans doute d'un aristocrate laic, certes lettre mais aussi familier des campagnes militaires, qui a ete en mesure de recueillir de nombreuses traditions originales, relatives aussi bien aux dessous des mariages princiers qu'aux mobiles des assassinats royaux. Contemporain de la montee en puissance des Pippinides, ancetres des Carolingiens, il exprime le point de vue des elites neustriennes restees longtemps fideles a leurs rois merovingiens, mais qui, lassees par les trop nombreuses dissensions qui dechiraient alors le royaume et la royaute des Francs, s'appretaient a se rallier a la puissance montante des Pippinides, garants d'un retour a l'ordre politique et social. Alors qu'il existait deja des versions allemandes ou anglaises - souvent partielles - de ce texte essentiel, jamais de traduction francaise n'en avait ete offerte au public. Les presentes edition et traduction, precedees d'une importante introduction et accompagnees d'un abondant apparat critique, viennent combler ce vide historiographique, et ne manqueront pas de contribuer au regain d'interet pour l'histoire des temps merovingiens, et plus generalement pour celle de l'Europe barbare, trop longtemps et trop complaisamment considerees comme irremediablement obscures.
