Claudis II exicuted St Valentine on the 14th of February in about the year 270
Valentine was a priest, possibly a bishop, in early years of Christianity in Rome. He became a patron saint of lovers when the Roman Emperor Claudius II Gothicus made it illegal for couples to get married. He needed men for his army and could not draft married men. Valentine continued to marry couples in secret. When the emperor found out, he had Valentine thrown into prison. While in jail he became a close friend of the jailer's young daughter. Just before he was executed for his crime, he sent her a letter in which he told her to remain faithful to God. He signed it, "From your Valentine."

He didn't want them to marry because so many men wanted to get married and he was worried that none of them would want to sign up for his army, so he decided to stop his soldiers from being married. It wasn't just his soldiers that he banned from marrying it was everyone. But a man named Father Valentine married the soldiers and other young lovers in secret. But of course Claudius found out and had Father Valentine sent to prison. The couples he married brought his flowers and nots for his cell. And on the day he was sent to be executed he gave a girl a note and it said 'From your Valentine'. That is where the tradition started for sending Valentines day cards and gifts. Hope this helps. ;)
Whoa! Claudius was a man, he was Nero's adoptive father, not mother. It was Nero's mother who was married to Claudius. At any rate, there is no evidence as to how Nero felt toward Claudius. We do know that his mother is said to have poisoned Claudius when she learned that he was about to disinherit Nero.Whoa! Claudius was a man, he was Nero's adoptive father, not mother.
