Francis has very good memorisation skills thanks to his childhood. As a young but seemingly immortal gaulish child, he loved to listen to the druids, who considered memorisation as a very important skill. Indeed, they believed that writing down informations was contributing to deteriorate people's memorisation skills, so they refrained from it (and it is believed to be a reason why there is so few Gaulish sources about Gaul).

Francis thus worked on this skill and got very good at it, and it is because of this cultural background that he saw written history as a bad thing. When the Romans, who wrote down everything, came and became the rulers of Gaul, he had a hard time adjusting with the fact that they wrote down stuff (cues in Caesar writing his Commentaries on Gaul). He also refused to learn how to write and only got around to learn how to read and maybe write a few letters. It's only around the 6th century, with Gregory of Tours, that he got around to the idea writing History down, and learning how to write, additionally. I like the idea of young Francis being present when Gregory wrote about the History of the Franks. Him being gallo-roman may have help.

Hence, Francis later put his memory to good use and decided that, as the only one who had any memory of the Gauls, he had to write about them. He had to provide a Gaulish source for their History and customs (while making it clear that writing it down is NOT part of they customs >_>)
