While Radegund's role as a writer and commissioner of letters has been well studied, her efforts as an orchestrator of letter deliveries, gift exchanges and other associated acts of public communication remain under‐explored. Drawing on two Merovingian hagiographies, one written c.590–600 by Radegund's friend and agent Venantius Fortunatus, and another composed shortly after 600 by a fellow nun, Baudonivia, this article offers a new methodological approach to the study of letter‐writing in the early Middle Ages. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Early Medieval Europe is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
