Which saint was married to Chlothar?

Which saint was married to Chlothar?

• A. Clotilde
• B. Bathildis
• C. Fredegund
• D. Radegund

Answer: (D)

Identifying which saint was married to a Merovingian king named Chlothar. Radegund was a Thuringian princess who became the wife of Chlothar II. She later renounced worldly life, founded a monastery at Poitiers, and was venerated as Saint Radegund. This direct marital link to Chlothar II is what makes her the correct match. The other saints are connected to different kings: Clotilde is the wife of Clovis I, Fredegund is associated with Chilperic I, and Bathildis with Clovis II— none of whom are Chlothar.
