The life of Saint Peter summed up is that he was the prince of the apostles and the first pope. No one really knows his early life but all we know is that he was a fisherman who followed Jesus, and was a companion of paul on several missionary journeys. After Jesus' resurrection and ascension he became the 'spokesman' (and hence leader) of the disciples. He was a brother to Andrew the apostle and his name was originally 'Simon' although Jesus named him 'Peter' (a rock) [or in Aramaic 'Cephas'] because of his steadfast loyalty despite being a fallible character.
Catholic tradition has it that became the first Bishop of Rome (now called 'the Pope'), preached to many countries, and died a martyr for Christ upside down on a cross around 60AD..
