[Learning at the court of the Merwings. ] Venantius Fortunatus, who dedicated his poems to Gregory the Great, andw...as "the great man of letters of his age, " was a poet, but a Christianpoet--a writer of letters, but a close friend of holy souls, andnotably of S. Radegund, the exiled princess and saint. [10] We learnfrom him that even in those days of blood there was a literary societyat the Frankish courts, and the savage king Chilperich made pretence tobe a writer, a theologian, and even a poet, though Gregory of Toursassures us that he had not the least notion of prosody.
