Dark Side History: Rudericus, & his Martyrdom (d. 857 AD) in context!

St. Roderick of Córdoba (executed 857 AD), also known as Rudericus, was a Christian priest and one of the Martyrs of Córdoba during the period of Al-Andalus, Muslim rule in Spain. He was betrayed by his own brother, who was a Muslim. After being falsely accused of apostasy and refusing to renounce his Christian faith, Roderick was arrested, tortured, and eventually executed by beheading and then later sainted for his martyrdom.
