Welcome to Part II of the Saga of the Nerds Who Fuck and Kill Each Other: AKA, the Frankish Merovingian Dynasty. If you loved Episode 21 (XOXO, Caesar), you're in the right place! If you haven't listened, never fear: we'll give a quick recap and jump right into two stories of seduction, murder, and betrayal in 6th century Gaul. First, we focus on St. Radegund, daughter-in-law of St. Clotilde and one of King Clothar's many wives. Then, we hop forward a few years and explore the legendary, witchcraft-adjacent feud of Fredegunda and Brunhilda, the two ladies who inspired today's title.
