High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Annales laureshamenses or Annals of Lorsch (AL) are a set of annals of the history of Francia (called Reichsannalen) covering the years from 703 to 803 with a brief prologue. They were perhaps begun as a continuation of the "Minor Chronicle" of Bede, contained in his De temporibus. Entries for the years before 785 were written at the Abbey of Lorsch, and those for subsequent years form an independent source, especially important for the events surrounding the imperial coronation of Charlemagne in 800. They have been translated into English.
