The facts on Valentine


St Valentine was a priest in third-century Rome.  When Emperor Claudius II declared that all young men were forbidden to marry (a consequence of his observation that single men made better soldiers), Valentine is said to have flouted the law and conducted marriages.  In time, his disobedience was discovered and he was sebsequently executed - supposedly the night before 14th February.  

One final legend reveals that Valentine was onece imprisoned, where he fell in love with a girl who visited the jail and from then on he write her love notes from his cell signed 'from your Valentine'.
