The Ring and the Cross mingles history, fiction, and religion, and
is based on real people and events in sixth-century France, when
Christian Europe was forming on the ruins of the Roman Empire. The
three main characters view the same events from different
perspectives. The poet Fortunatus begins as a playboy and ends as
the saintly bishop of Poitiers, under the spiritual guidance of his
beloved St. Radegund. Queen Brunhild, the original of Wagner's
Brunhilde, marries a doomed prince and avenges his murder, against
the counsel of St. Radegund. As barbarian hordes storm
once-civilized lands, ordinary people must rescue what they can of
morality and faith, building a Christian Age on the bits and pieces
of the past. The book draws implicit connections between that age
and our own.
