king of the Thuringians. Berthaire was killed by his See also:brother Hermannfried, who took Radegunda and educated her, but was himself slain by the Frankish See also:kings Theuderich and See also:Clotaire (529), and Radegunda See also:fell to Clotaire, who later married her. Her piety was already so noteworthy that it was said that Clotaire had married a See also:nun, not a queen. She See also:left him when he unjustly killed her brother, and fled to Medardus, See also:bishop of See also:Poitiers, who, notwithstanding the danger of the See also:act, consecrated her as a nun. Radegunda stayed in Poitiers, founded a monastery there, and lived for a while in See also:peace. Here Venantius See also:Fortunatus, the See also: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 See also:life at the monastery. The queen died on the 13th of See also:August 587.
