<p>Fortunatus converted to Christianity at an early age, at Aquileia. While a student at Ravenna, he became almost blind, but recovered his sight, as he believed miraculously, by anointing his eyes with oil taken from a lamp that burned before the altar of St. Martin of Tours. His recovery induced him to make a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Martin at Tours, in 565. He remained in Gaul the rest of his life.</p>
|
|
<p>At Poitiers, he formed a romantic, though purely platonic, attachment for Queen Rhadegunda, daughter of Bertharius, king of Neustria. As a result of her influence, Fortunatus was eventually ordained and, after Rhadegunda’s death, became bishop of Poitiers shortly before his own death in 609.</p>
