Radegunda

Mt. Radegunda.

Radegunda (pia: Rhadegund, Radegonde, Radigund; 520 hivi – 13 Agosti 587) alikuwa malkia wa Wafaranki kutokana na ndoa yake na mfalme Klotari I, lakini alitokea Thuringia, leo nchini Ujerumani.

Baada ya kufaulu kumkimbia mumewe, mwaka 560 alianzisha abasia huko Poitiers, leo nchini Ufaransa, alipofahamika kwa maisha magumu na kwa kutunza na kuponya wagonjwa na ambapo ndipo alipofariki.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa katika tarehe ya kifo chake.
