When Roman Emperor Claudius II Gothicus made it illegal for couple to marry, Valentine continued to do so in secret. The Emperor had him arrested, tortured and beheaded. While in prison he became friends with the young daughter of the jailer. He cured her blindness. Just before he was to die he sent her a letter, urging her to remain faithful to God and signed it, "From your Valentine."
