Years: 303 - 303
A Briton named Alban, according to Christian tradition, had sheltered a fugitive priest during Diocletian's persecution of Christians and been baptized by him.
When the emperor's soldiers arrived to search his house, in Verulianum, Alban, found disguised in the priest's cloak, was arrested and then beheaded.
Verulianum will later be named Saint Albans for the man supposed to have been the first British martyr.
