Radegunda is Frankish saint from 6th cerntury. First she was queen, wife of Franks king Clotaire I. In 560 she founded monastery of Sainte-Croix in Poitiers and went there to live like a nun. She ate only legumes and green vegetables. Nuns lived there by the Rule for Virgins of Caesarius of Arles. They devoted several hours of the day to reading the scriptures and copying manuscripts, as well some other task such as weweaving and needlework.
Manusript in pictures show life from 16th century (mostly, French kings court) not from 6th century. Clothes are from 15th century.
