Valentine was a priest who helped lovers marry secretly, which was considered as a crime. So claudius killed him and his death is celebrated as valentines day
As legend goes, the emperor Claudius (probably Claudius Gothicus) outlawed marriages so that he would have more soldiers. Saint Valentine refused to stop the marriages, and so he was killed. He supposedly healed a blind girl, and wrote a letter to her signed "Your Valentine." Thus, the legend. Another legend states only that he was beaten and beheaded for giving aid to Christians, and for refusing to convert.

The ghost says that he is stuck in purgatory because he did not have a chance to confess before he died. It would have been less cruel to have killed him as he stepped out of the confessional, but give Claudius some credit here--he's not going to kill Hamlet in such a way that Claudius was going to get caught. Claudius might have chosen a less nasty poison, one supposes. That would have been less cruel.
