'''Saint Alban''' (Died AD 304) lived in the 2nd or 3rd century. He was a [[pagan]] living in the [[Roman]]-British city of Verulamium and was converted to [[Christianity]] through the witness of a priest (supposedly named Amphibalus) he was sheltering. When the house was searched, Alban dressed in the priest's clothes and was executed in his place. He was the first recorded [[British]] [[martyr]]. Verulamium was renamed St. Alban in his honor.
