About St. Peter Martyr
1206 – 1252 · Feast April 6 · Priest / Dominican / Martyr
Italian Dominican preacher and martyr (1206-1252), of Verona, born of Cathar parents but a strong opponent of the heresy from his Bologna student days; papal inquisitor for northern Italy from 1251. Murdered by Cathar assassins on the road from Como to Milan, he traced "Credo in Deum" in his blood as he died. Canonized eleven months after his death (1253 by Innocent IV)—the fastest in papal history.
St. Peter Martyr is the patron saint of Inquisitors, Dominican Martyrs and Headaches.
