medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Wonderful! That's about the right date as well. We think her cult may
have been brought to Usk by Alicia de la Marche, first wife of Gilbert
de Clare, 'Gilbert the Red', lord of Usk at the beginning of the C14.
Alicia's family estates were in Poitou, their caput near to Poitiers
where Radegund's relics lay in the church dedicated to her near her
convent of Holy Cross.
And the whole site is a wonderful resource.
Many thanks

greater than the evils, that were intended to be remedied by such

That's very clear for the carving. But the bright light used bleaches
out the colour.
See the illustration here:

How about this portrait of R. from a glass window in the cathedral of
Gurk
(Austria)?

The page this comes from:
http://www.burgenseite.com/glas/glasfenster_txt.htm
dates the window to ca. 1340.
There's an English-language account of the cathedral here:
