-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clovis, king of the Franks, was converted to Christianity in 496 C.E., in part through the influence of his Christian wife, Clotild. At that time all the Franks were baptized, but the church had few priests or local churches within the nation. Ever since the Emperor Constantine in the fourth century C.E. had legitimized Christianity in the Roman Empire, missionaries had sought to establish the church in pagan territories by decree of the converted ruler, rather than by the tedious process of convincing the mass of subject peoples. And just as Helena, Constantine's mother, had introduced Christianity to the Roman Court, aristocratic women were often the first Frankish Christians. Clotild and her noblewomen were relied on for more than their influence on their families. Their patronage was essential to extending the church and to actually sprea'ding Christian doctrines among the people. The appeal of Christianity to women caught in the warfare endemic to Germanic expansion in northern Europe is evident in the story of Radegund, born in the second generation of Frankish Christians. It was a violent period, in which life-spans were shortened by disease, war, assassination, and poisoning. The impact of violence on women is illustrated by the experiences of Radegund (ca. 525-587 C.E.) and Clothar, a son of Clovis and Clotild. Radegund was a Thuringian princess, whose father was murdered by her uncle. When Radegund's uncle viciously murdered a number of Frankish women and children, war broke out. The Thuringians were almost destroyed by the Franks. The child princess was a prize the Frankish victors gambled for, and Clothar won her. The Franks often married captured aristocratic women, probably in the hope of gaining the loyalty of their defeated foes. Clothar had Radegund educated at his court. After about ten years, when he was king of the Franks, he married her. Then he was in his forties, a polygamous man with at least five wives. Radegund bore no children, an ancient reason for divorce. When she was in her late twenties, Radegund left her husband to live on her own property. She took religious vows when she learned that her husband had executed her brother in 550 C.E. Nevertheless, Clothar's wealth enabled her to found a convent at Poitiers that became one of the largest in the

Frankish kingdom. After her death she became a saint. At Poitiers she wrote a poem about the brutal events of her childhood.
