RADEGUNDA, ST (d. 587)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 784 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RADEGUNDA, ST (d. 587) , Frankish queen, was the daughter of Berthaire,
king
  of the Thuringians. Berthaire was killed by his brother Hermannfried, who took
Radegunda
  and educated her, but was himself slain by the Frankish
kings
  Theuderich and Clotaire (529), and
Radegunda
 
fell
  to Clotaire, who later married her. Her piety was already so noteworthy that it was said that Clotaire had married a nun, not a queen. She left him when he unjustly killed her brother, and fled to Medardus,
bishop
  of Poitiers, who, notwithstanding the danger of the act, consecrated her as a nun. Radegunda stayed in Poitiers, founded a monastery there, and lived for a while in peace. Here Venantius
Fortunatus
 , the Italian poet, found a friendly reception, and two of the poems printed under his name are usually attributed to Radegunda. From him we gain a most pleasing picture of
life
  at the monastery. The queen died on the 13th of August 587.
