Radegund
Radegund was a Thuringian princess captured by the Franks in 531 and married to the Merovingian king Chlothar I. She left him around 550, became a nun and founded the Abbey of the Holy Cross at Poitiers, which received a relic of the True Cross from Byzantium. She was venerated as a saint soon after her death in 587.
