This was probably Simon the Zealot. Zealots (from where we get the word 'zeal' meaning an eagerness to be involved) were a group of revolutionary freedom fighters who were out to rid Israel of the Roman occupying forces. Simon became a disciple of Jesus (one of the '12'). Little else is known about him, but various traditions about where he ended up abound. Some say he went to Africa, the Middle East, Samaria, even the UK where he was a missionary in Glastonbury, meeting his end as a martyr at Lincoln. It is almost certain that he was, as were most of the other disciples, martyred, but some say that, true to his initial work as a freedom fighter, he was killed in a Roman quashing of an uprising in Jerusalem.
