Radulfo de Fusteia was born in the year 1067 in the city of Laon, in France. He was the son of Count Fulbert II of Laon and Adelaide de Soissons. At sixteen he entered the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Vincent, where he was ordained a priest. He was later elected abbot of the monastery and after a short period appointed Bishop of Soissons.
Radulf was a pious and studious man, and dedicated himself to preaching the Word of God throughout France. In the year 1100, he was invited to preach in Rome by Pope Urban II. There he met Cardinal Hugolinus, who asked him to return with him to Italy to assist him in his pastoral work. Radulf agreed and moved to Florence, where he worked as the cardinal's chaplain until his death in 1115.
After the death of Cardinal Hugolinus, Radulf returned to France and settled in the city of Troyes, where he founded a Benedictine monastery called Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens. There he spent the rest of his life devoted to study and prayer. He died on January 21, 1130 and was buried in the monastery he founded.
