Chronicle of Nantes (Latin: Chronicon Namnetense; French: Chronique de Nantes) is an 11th-century Latin history that covers events from about 570 to 1049 AD. The original manuscript, once kept in Nantes, has not survived. Scholar Merlet argued that the chronicle was written in the 1050s. He also found charters from the cathedral archives of Tours and Nantes, as well as annals and other narratives in the unknown author's source materials.
