St. Peter, the first pope, was ordered executed by the Roman Emperor Nero because he was a Christian and Nero had decided to blame the great fire that destroyed much of Rome in the year 64 on the Christians.
There is no historical evidence to suggest that Emperor Nero killed Saint Peter. Saint Peter is believed to have been executed during the reign of Emperor Nero, but the specific circumstances and the direct involvement of Nero in his death are not documented. The tradition that Nero killed Saint Peter likely emerged from the intense persecution of Christians during his reign.
He burned and crucified Christians such as Paul and Peter. He also killed many Roman which led to a revolt against him. Being a christian myself i think Nero was extremely cruel not only to Christians but to Romans too.
No. The Roman emperor, Nero, was very unhappy about the burning of Rome, so he decided to blame the Christians. One of the more well-known Christians was Simon Peter, or just "Peter". Peter was put to death on Nero's orders by being crucified (A common Roman execution method) but it was more horrific than even Jesus' crucifixion in that Peter was crucified head down.

The Bible never mentions Emperor Nero. Although later Christian traditions say that he persecuted the early Christians throughout the Roman Empire and that he had both Peter and Paul executed in Rome, Acts of the Apostles never mentions these claims or anything else about Nero, although Acts was largely about Peter and Paul, and was clearly written after the time of Nero.
Peter Nero's birth name is Bernard Nierow.
According to 2000 years of Catholic tradition, Saint Peter was imprisoned in Rome under orders of Emperor Nero. The Christians were accused by Nero of setting the great fire that nearly destroyed Rome. It is believed that Nero, himself, had the fire set. Peter was condemned to be crucified. He requested that he be crucified upside down as he did not feel worthy to die in the same manner as Christ.
