There is a huge body of literature on the Church's attempt to shove the Trinity down the throats of people who did not accept it. You might want to start with Gibbon's "Decline and Fall." There is some mention of the use of the Trinity in Gregory of Tours' "History of the Franks." An excellent collection of information on the rejection of the Trinity can be found in Tillemont's "The history of the Arians."
