The other day I had a hand where RHO opened 1♣ I overcalled 1♥ and passed LHO doubled and passed Partner redoubled!

General question: what does the redouble of a negative double mean?

There is very little about this online and I have never come across this bidding sequence before so I am very much interested in your replies.

Many thanks as always.

I am aware of three uses for this redouble:
1) Some 10+ hand implying no fit for partner's (intervenor's) suit - this is like the redouble after 1Z-X-XX...
2) Rosencranz - shows Hxx or better in partner's suit - a good raise. This allows 2♥ here to be bid on lesser support (xxx(x))...You can also reverse this - that is, have the redouble show xxx and the raise show Hxx...
3) Munson - showing either ♥Ax or ♥Kx - the idea here to allow patrner to underlead a top honor against their contract sn help our side score a ruff when it's available.
Redouble as a weak rescue (runout) is something I haven't seen in this position. While you could do this, I can't see why you would - the other ideas are more important to competitive bidding.
Be the partner you want to play with.
Trust demands integrity, balance and collaboration.
