Baring-Gould’s sources: Venerated in Swabia and in the diocese of Augsburg. Authority: — An account of her in Raderus; Bavaria Sancta, iii. p. 156; and the Acta 1 Sanctorum.] Si Radegund, of Wellenburg, near Augsburg, was a servant girl who occupied what little time she had at her. disposal in attending to some poor wretches, who lived near the farm where she served, and who were troubled with elephantiasis, or leprosy. She earned them of her own food, and, it was thought, milk and t Utter from the farm. Her master, so runs the tale, once caught her carrying off, as he supposed, his butter and milk. He insisted on examining the pail, and what she held in her hand. She had soapsuds in the pail, and she was carrying a comb to clean the heads of the unfortunate and dirty lepers. ' He gladly let the girl go her way. She might scrub and comb them as much as she liked.

One wild winter’s evening, as she was on her way to the lazar house on her errand of mercy, she was attacked by wolves; the howling of the wind drowned her cries, and in the morning only her gnawed bones and portions of her dress were found.
