If you are referring to St. Denis of Paris, he was a missionary to Paris, France and the first Bishop of Paris. His success as a missionary angered the local pagans, and he was imprisoned by the Roman governor. He was martyred in the persecutions of Roman Emperor Valerius with Saint Rusticus and Saint Eleutherius. Legends have grown up around his torture and death, including one that has his body carrying his severed head some distance from his execution site.
