Valentine was a Roman Bishop during the time Roman Emperor Claudius was persecuting Christians, believing unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers. Valentine secretly married several Christians so they would not have to go to war. After being caught by Claudius II, Valentine was beaten brutally, and executed. Though several legends of his life remain ambiguous, he is also known for restoring sight to the daughter of Judge Asterius.
